Thinking of moving to Suzhou, what are the pros and cons of Suzhou?

I've been in Beijing all my life, and recently I've been thinking about staying in a different city and just happened to research Suzhou. But Suzhou can definitely be considered a first-tier city within the second-tier cities, the level of economic development, the size of the city and so on are not bad.

Saying a few of what I consider to be Suzhou's strengths, and what appeals to me

1. Wage level. The most important thing is to make money. The wage level in Suzhou can crush most of the second-tier cities, and it is several blocks away from many provincial capitals.

2. Climate. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services you need. Suzhou's climate is very comfortable to stay, and not so cold and hot, and not so many rainstorms.

3. Scenery. I don't need to say anything about the sights and attractions, but the main thing is that the cityscape is built to be very comfortable. Living in a city, the overall environment has a big impact on one's mood.

Post a few pictures to illustrate

Suzhou Railway Station, very design sense

Suzhou bus station

4. For a foodie, food is an important indicator of judgment. Suzhou has so many snacks, and all go exquisite all the way, very friendly to the stomach of foodies.

Oops, still have to post a few pictures

By the way, because I considered moving to the field of education, I deliberately checked the school. Suzhou University is very famous and is also a 211; Renmin University of China also has a campus in Suzhou. The other two are Liverpool University and Duke University in Kunshan. There are quite a lot of junior colleges and stuff, so if you want to be a teacher, there are quite a lot of choices.

Weaknesses

1. It's almost 20,000 square feet, which is still too much pressure for the average salaryman to buy a house.

2. Settlement. In a side-by-side comparison, the threshold for settlement in Suzhou is still relatively strict.

The points settlement is difficult, the prerequisite is to participate in social insurance, has applied for a residence permit and continuous legal residence for more than one year, and the requirements in the urban area has a lawful and stable residence and per capita housing area of 18 square meters. Points will change every year, basically 730 points up and down. Looking at that standard, you basically don't want to count on it without 5 or 6 years of social security.

According to the standard of talent introduction, the age is very rigid. Men must be under 40 and women under 35.

I have a friend who meets the criteria for the introduction of talent, but it's too much of a hassle. She found the Suzhou Lightning Home Agency, mainly to save trouble, and later told me that it was done in four months. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on this.

On the whole, Suzhou's advantages and disadvantages are more obvious. But it has advantages that are generally not found elsewhere, and it has disadvantages that are generally found elsewhere. So, if you don't want to be crowded in the north and want to have a good development, Suzhou is a pretty good choice.

First, the advantages of Suzhou.

Human geography: Suzhou living and working communication in Mandarin, unlike some cities, the foreign population simply can not live, all is the local language. Daily spare time is relatively rich, Suzhou has a large number of tourist attractions, landscape and humanities landscapes are complete, the historical scenic spots are also more, Suzhou Garden is also very famous. The climate is favorable, with four distinct seasons and plenty of rain.

Economic aspects: Suzhou, in general, the wage income is relatively high, the entrepreneurial environment is also very good, no matter what industry, in Suzhou can find a lot of local customers, business operations are very convenient. Even if you are doing business across the country or even outside the country, the logistics system in Suzhou is sufficient to support.

And the downside

Due to the high per capita income, the consumption level in Suzhou is relatively high.

In addition, Suzhou's current housing prices are also very high, if you want to buy a home, buy a big hundreds of thousands or even millions, can not buy a house.

Then the most important thing is very traffic jam, this point is really good hate.

The advantage is that there are mountains and water, history and culture, the city is not too big or small to have everything, the proportion of outsiders is high, counting immigrant cities inclusive. The disadvantage is that the price of housing is relatively high, and the climate is cold in winter and hot in summer.

Suzhou is a very, very friendly city to foreigners. The economy is developed, there are many job opportunities, there are many foreign immigrants, the culture is relatively tolerant, in Suzhou you do not speak Suzhou language can live and work very well. The price of housing, whether buying or renting, is generally acceptable for working class people who have been struggling for many years, and the transportation is convenient and quasi-first-tier.

AdvantagesSuzhou is a thousand-year-old city, humanities and natural landscape, the city is very inclusive! The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services you need, and you'll be able to do it in a few hours! The disadvantage is that the price of housing is very high, and it is not easy for children to go to school! There is also a lot of cars, water and people mixed, some kind of angle is a potential safety threat to adults and children!

As long as you Money, no disadvantages!

The shortcomings are two, one is cold and wet in winter, there is no central heating, but a good solution, they spend tens of thousands of dollars to install a floor heating; the second is that the price of housing is expensive, this can be solved in half, live in the suburbs suburban county.

After reading the entire article below patiently, the advantages and disadvantages will be clear to you! There will no longer be any confusion about whether or not to move!

Discussing the development of the city, looking to the future of the city, it is necessary to understand the current stage of development of China's cities, what form of organization is being implemented. The following is an overview of China's urban development history:

In the 1980s, the guiding ideology of China's urban development is to "strictly control the size of the central city, the appropriate development of medium-sized cities, the active development of small cities, the development of small towns with a focus on";

In 2014, the new urbanization plan is proposed to "Enhance the radiation-driven function of central cities, accelerate the development of small and medium-sized cities, focus on the development of small towns, and promote the coordinated development of large, medium-sized and small cities and small towns";

In October 2017, the 19th National Congress report put forward the "city clusters as the main body of the construction of large, medium-sized and small cities and small towns Coordinated development of the town pattern";

In February 2019, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "guidance on fostering the development of modern metropolitan areas", which pointed out that: the metropolitan area is a spatial pattern of urbanization within the urban agglomeration centered on a mega, mega-city or a big city with strong radiation-driven function, and with the 1-hour commuting circle as the basic scope;

In October 2020, the Party's nineteenth session of the Fifth Plenary Session considered and adopted the "China **** Central Committee on the formulation of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Visionary Goals of 2035" proposed to "optimize the setup of administrative divisions, give full play to the role of the central city and urban agglomeration driving the construction of a modern metropolitan area". The central city is the most concentrated regional resources and elements, high-end core nodes, is the regional resources and elements configuration center; metropolitan area for the center of the city's direct radiation function; urban agglomeration is composed of a few central cities, a few metropolitan area *** with the composition of the largest spatial organization form.

After reading the above overview, you can understand the whole process of urban development model evolution. As for the current establishment of the city cluster, metropolitan area development model, that is, the central city as the core of the large, medium and small cities group development model. In the cluster, it is divided into three types of cities: central city, sub-center city and satellite city. The central city generally refers to the most developed and largest city in the region; the sub-central city is the second largest city in terms of population as well as size, etc.; and the so-called satellite city and the central city are the interdependent relationship between the sub-city and the mother city. Satellite cities can share some of the functions of the central city, undertake the evacuation of the central city industry, is an extension of the functions of the central city. Satellite cities are closely related to the central city, but with relative independence, and will not be integrated into the central city. The most successful city cluster and metropolitan area model that has been practiced globally and is more in line with China's national conditions is the Tokyo Metropolitan Area model. This model is based on the central city to gather core resources, the development of modern services and other high-end industries; satellite cities according to functional differentiation, the development of machinery manufacturing, heavy chemicals, iron and steel, metal materials, automobile manufacturing and other industries, and the central city to form a functional complementary relationship. And through the cross-city rail transit to build the central city as the core of the 1-hour commuting circle, so that the realization of dual-city life has become possible.

After the new era of urban development model is determined, the most important link is to determine the central city, sub-centers of the city, as well as clear satellite cities. How the central city is divided into tiers, and on what basis, has been brewing for nearly two decades, and the process is as follows:

In 2005, the Ministry of Housing and Construction, based on the Urban Planning Law, proposed to prepare a new round of "National Township System Planning (2005-2020)". It started in 2005 and ended in 2020.

In 2006, the Ministry of Housing and Construction issued the "National Urban System Planning (2006-2020)", which proposed to build a "ten hundred million" urban system, that is, 10 global and national central cities, 100 national cities, 1,000 small and medium-sized cities, and 10,000 towns. And clearly pointed out: the national central city is the core city in the national urban system planning, that is, in the financial, management, culture, transportation and other aspects of the center and hub status of the city.

And the National Development and Reform Commission, also further clarified that the national central city is a modern metropolis that resides in the national strategic key, shoulders the national mission, leads the regional development, participates in international competition, and represents the national image. It is a new "spire" above the level of municipalities and provincial capitals, and it is a city that concentrates the main advantages of China's space, population, resources and policies.

Since then, the new round of the National Township Planning Program, the city in the functional distinction, the formation of a clear pyramid stratification. The tip of the tower: global cities and national central cities (positioning of global cities: to drive the development of world-class urban agglomerations; positioning of national central cities: to participate in global competition on behalf of the country), and the tip of the tower and then down in turn: national regional central cities, small and medium-sized cities with special characteristics, and small towns.

In February 2010, the State Ministry of Housing and Construction in the "National Township System Planning (2010-2020)" in the clear approval of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing for the five national central cities, giving them in the development of the city in the status of the leader. 5 big cities of the agglomeration effect, began to appear, the rapid development of the **** witnessed! .

From May 2016 to February 2018, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Ministry of Housing and Construction (NMHC) issued another letter to support the construction of national center cities in Chengdu, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Xi'an. Once announced, it directly ignited the development of the 4 major cities. For example, Chengdu, with a household population of more than 12 million at the end of 2015, by the seventh national census in 2020, the household population has reached as high as 20.93 million. Similarly, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, since the approval of the national center city, also began a rapid development, the household population year after year wildly increased, the capital crazy influx, the industry scramble to layout, the urban agglomeration effect is very significant, the center of the city function is rapidly formed. The four newly promoted national center city, through just three or four years of rapid development, have been stabilized in each area of the absolute leader position, and even on the eastern coast of most cities to form a significant advantage. This can be evidenced by the following passage, which also kicked off the prelude to Shandong's declaration of Jinan as a national center city in consecutive years:

In 2017, Jinan City, then a handful of speeches at the two sessions in Shandong: Shandong's economic strength is strong, but no peaks in the mountains, the lack of a core city with a strong driving force. Jinan as the provincial capital, is the heart of Shandong and the center, we all live in Jinan, feet on the same piece of land, head of the same piece of blue sky, is the fate of **** the same body. Jinan is good, Shandong is good. The future competition among the provinces is the competition of the city group, or the competition of the core city. Zhengzhou not long ago was identified as the national center of the city, for us is a great stimulus. Analyze the surrounding Zhengzhou, Hefei, and a little farther Wuhan, Changsha, Chengdu, Guiyang, the rapid development of these cities in recent years, they have a *** with the same characteristics, that is, the province's efforts to develop the provincial capital, only to create today's glory. The core city is gathered, we do not gather, will be gathered by other cities; opportunities are grabbed, we do not grab, other cities will go to grab.

From 2005 to open the "National Township System Planning" preparation work, to 2018, after 13 years, *** determine Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Chengdu, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, *** 9 national center city, also known as the pyramid tip of the city, referred to as the "tip of the city". According to the definition of the Ministry of Housing and Construction and the National Development and Reform Commission and the cultivation direction, this 9 big cities, the future of the club is financial, management, population, transportation and other resources are highly concentrated in the core city, is to lead the development of the national city and on behalf of China to participate in the competition of the world's top cities 9 big cities.

Since the positioning of the national center of the city is so high, the development of the city is like a shot in the arm, is not the other cities can apply for it? In fact, since 2005, the State Ministry of Housing and Construction proposed the preparation of the National Township System Plan, to the original plan cut-off in 2020, the total **** only approved 9 national central cities. As for the 10th national center city, until now at the end of 2021, still can not be determined, visible competition. But according to the relevant media analysis, from the relevant informed sources were informed that, due to this round of planning time to develop earlier, and China's existing urban development situation has not matched, then proposed 10 global and national center city is only a vision. According to the layout of China's urban areas as well as comprehensive economic development, the future number of China's national center city is likely to remain at 12. Therefore, the competition for the national center city, instead of ending with the passing of 2020, began a more intense competition.

Let's talk about the Yangtze River Delta region. In the face of the preparation of the National Township Planning Program, what significant changes have occurred in the pattern of the Yangtze River Delta region and what fierce competition has been formed.

As we all know, the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is the largest urban agglomeration in China and the sixth largest in the world, with a population of 160 million. The population of the entire Yangtze River Delta region is as high as 230 million, and the economic volume accounts for about 1/4 of the country. Compared to the rest of the volume is significantly smaller than the Yangtze River Delta city group double national center city as the core of the city group planning, the Yangtze River Delta city group only approved Shanghai 1 national center city, there is indeed the possibility of additions.

The traditional Yangtze River Delta refers to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai package area, consisting of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai 3 provinces and cities. But in 2016, the state approved the "Yangtze River Delta city group planning" in the removal of northern Jiangsu, southern Zhejiang, joined the eastern part of Anhui, and clear Hefei Nanjing Hangzhou for the Yangtze River Delta city group deputy center city, Shanghai for the Yangtze River Delta city group center city. Within the Yangtze River Delta city cluster, the importance of Hefei has been and Ning Hangzhou and neck and neck, a move among the Yangtze River Delta city cluster 4 big center city.

In January 2017, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology is the approval of Hefei as a national science center city, the traditional science and education city of Nanjing, Wuhan, Xi'an, etc. Instead, not approved. Up to now, the state **** approved four major national science center city, according to the approval of the time order: Shanghai, Hefei, Beijing, Shenzhen. National Science Center City, in fact, is a single function of the national center of the city, such as Shenzhen, although it is not the national center of the city, but has been the national economic center of the city, is the economic aspects of the national center of the city, in the economic status and Shanghai on a par. In the demographic dividend has been lost, the national industrial transformation today and in the future, can occupy the country's top scientific research resources of the national science center city, undoubtedly in the future of the city's development to take advantage of the first opportunity.

After Anhui joined the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) city group, Hefei was approved as the deputy center of the YRD city group and the national science center city. Hefei has already got the backbone to face Nanjing and Hangzhou, and strongly join the competition of the national center city in the Yangtze River Delta region. The following respectively show the determination of Anhui Jiangsu Zhejiang 3 provinces to support Hefei Nanjing Hangzhou to compete for the national central city.

2020 December public "Jiangsu Province" 14th Five-Year Plan "clearly put forward to support Nanjing to create a national center city;" Zhejiang Province "14th Five-Year Plan "clearly put forward to cultivate Hangzhou national center city;" Anhui Province "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly put forward to support the development of Hefei towards the national central city.

In May-June 2021, the public announcement of "Zhejiang Province Land Space Planning (2021-2035)" again proposed Hangzhou to build a national center city; "Anhui Province Land Space Planning (2021-2035)" again clearly support Hefei to create a national center city; "Jiangsu Province Land Space Planning (2021-2035)" again clear Nanjing against the national center city. The city of Nanjing is the center of the country.

The approval is not a waste of paper, the positioning is not a slogan. The city's functional differentiation and differentiated cultivation have always been carried out in an orderly manner. The following is a list of the major policy benefits that the 4 major center cities in the Yangtze River Delta have received in recent years.

2021 national "14th Five-Year Plan" put forward the high-quality development of Zhejiang to build *** same wealth demonstration area.

Nowadays, the vast majority of cities have lost the opportunity to climb the pyramid "spire", but there are still a very small number of cities are still in order to climb the "spire" and hard work. Look at the development of the city, can not look at the present, but to look at the future planning and positioning, to look at the 2025, 2035 time nodes of the development pattern; more can not just look at a single function, to generalize. The "spire" positioning of the global and national center of the city's central functions must be integrated and comprehensive.

Advantages: this is the center of the Wu language area, is the complete successor and embodiment of the thousand years of Wu culture, its beautiful environment, the classical atmosphere and modern fashion coexist, everywhere, green trees, birds and flowers; rivers and lakes across the river, river freshness; Ming restaurant restaurants, monuments and places of interest; short-term lodging and long stay, the people's style of elegance and peace, serenity and quiet. Weaknesses: lack of excellent managers who are familiar with the culture of Wu-Yue, lack of maturity and professionalism in the planning, protection and management of the city, limited utilization of resources that meets, protects and develops the culture of Gusu, especially the screening of foreign immigrants, the rectification of law and order and the cooperation of foreigners is not satisfactory, so that this cultural capital, which can represent more than 50% of the culture of the Chinese nation, is only in the general rather than letting the world, especially in Asia, be amazed and admire. Asia to marvel and admire ......
