Reporter’s notes
Night economy has become an important index to evaluate urban development.
There are many indicators to evaluate the economic vitality of a city and a region, such as economic growth rate, corporate profits, the number of new enterprises, etc., but these are too far from life.
As a result, another set of indicators has attracted more and more attention, and even become the reason why many young people choose cities: the number of movie screens, the coverage of 24-hour convenience stores, the number of first-line clothing brand stores, the driving time of the latest subway or bus, and the number and types of takeout … … It can be found that most of them are related to the night economy.
Cities with better performance in these indicators represent richer consumption choices and better public services, which have a strong attraction to young people, and the arrival of more young people provides an indispensable force for urban development.
Some economists once said: "The brightness of lights in a region at night is directly proportional to its GDP." Behind every lamp is a night consumption scene, and behind every consumption scene is a better and more diverse life demand, which brings more products and services to flow continuously at night.
Consumption and production, intertwined at night in Guangdong, are rewriting many people’s daily lives and putting forward higher requirements for urban management.
This kind of management is not only reflected in the maintenance of order in consumer places. Night economic prosperity needs to be supported by the developed tertiary industry, and the diversified tertiary industry is also a praise and embodiment of urban industrial diversity, tolerance and market activity. From this point of view, a city with a developed night economy not only reflects the strong vitality of the city, but also shows the optimization of the urban industrial structure, the strong sense of security of residents and the improvement of public services.
