《中国城市竞争力报告No.14》延续了以往报告的理论框架和政策含义，在格局、现象、规律等方面的研究上有所突破。报告从以下方面进行了总体分析和分区域的论述：城市综合经济竞争力即城市创造价值的能力，体现为城市创造价值的规模、速度和效率；宜居和宜商城市竞争力即城市吸引人才、企业等本体集聚的能力，进而决定了城市产业体系的层次与结构；城市可持续竞争力即城市的要素与环境状况，分别体现为创新驱动的知识城市、公平包容的和谐城市、环境友好的生态城市、多元一本的文化城市、城乡一体的全域城市、开放便捷的信息城市。在分项报告和区域报告中，对格局和现象进行了多角度的分析，并深入探索了相关变量间的内在规律。研究发现：城市竞争力格局呈现分化趋势，人口流向成为新风向标；城市竞争力在分化的同时出现了固化现象；城市竞争力强的城市，城市病也严重；东北大城市的衰落是东北地区衰退的重要原因。当前，中国城镇化已进入到关键性发展阶段，新常态下中国经济面临结构调整和转型升级的艰巨性历史任务。随着中国进入城市世纪，而重构中国的城市体系，将会迸发中国发展的新动力，促进巨型国家经济、社会和环境的健康可持续发展必须以完善的城市体系为支撑。报告以“新引擎：多中心群网化城市体系”为主题，分别从城市组织体系、规模体系、结构体系、联系体系等方面论证了中国城市体系的深刻变化。建议：应确立“经济竞争力强、社会凝聚力强、环境永续力强”三个目标价值，形成“集群化、哑铃型、多中心、网络化”四项目标任务，采取重点发展城市群体系、放开对大城市的限制、差别化发展小城镇、多尺度的多中心、促进城市空间和功能体系的网络化等五项路径战略，推进建立一个经济竞争力、社会凝聚力和环境永续力强的多中心群网化城市体系。最后，本书对未来中国城市（群）体系演变进行了总体设计。

"China Urban Competitiveness Report No.14" continues the theoretical framework and policy implications of previous reports, and has made breakthroughs in the research of patterns, phenomena and laws. The report provides an overall analysis and sub-regional discussion from the following aspects: the comprehensive economic competitiveness of cities, that is, the ability of cities to create value, reflected in the scale, speed and efficiency of urban value creation; The competitiveness of livable and business-friendly cities refers to the city's ability to attract talents, enterprises and other ontology, which in turn determines the level and structure of the urban industrial system; Urban sustainable competitiveness refers to the elements and environmental conditions of a city, which are embodied in innovation-driven knowledge cities, fair and inclusive harmonious cities, environment-friendly ecological cities, diversified cultural cities, urban and rural integrated global cities, and open and convenient information cities. In the sub-reports and regional reports, the patterns and phenomena are analyzed from multiple angles, and the internal laws of relevant variables are deeply explored. It is found that the pattern of urban competitiveness shows a trend of differentiation, and population flow has become a new wind vane. Urban competitiveness has solidified while divergence; Cities with strong urban competitiveness are also seriously ill; The decline of large cities in the northeast is an important reason for the decline in the northeast. At present, China's urbanization has entered a critical stage of development, and China's economy is facing arduous historical tasks of structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading under the new normal. As China enters the urban century, the reconstruction of China's urban system will burst out a new impetus for China's development, and the healthy and sustainable development of the economy, society and environment of mega-countries must be supported by a sound urban system. With the theme of "New Engine: Multi-center Cluster Networked City System", the report demonstrates the profound changes of China's urban system from the aspects of urban organization system, scale system, structural system and connection system. Suggestions: We should establish the three goal values of "strong economic competitiveness, strong social cohesion and strong environmental sustainability", form four goals and tasks of "clustering, dumbbell type, polycentric and networking", adopt five path strategies such as focusing on the development of urban agglomeration system, relaxing restrictions on large cities, differentiated development of small towns, multi-scale polycentricity, and promoting the networking of urban space and functional systems, and promote the establishment of a multi-center cluster networked city system with strong economic competitiveness, social cohesion and environmental sustainability. Finally, the book provides an overall design for the future evolution of China's urban (agglomeration) system.（AI翻译）
