Analysis of Obstacles and Measurement of the Development Level of New Urbanization in Sichuan Province

Abstract

Sichuan is situated in the heart of Southwest China. Speeding up the advancement of new urbanization in Sichuan is not merely a matter of local development; it also carries the significant responsibility of aligning with national strategies, overcoming the constraints of western development, and fostering shared prosperity. This paper introduces an evaluation index system that assesses the development level of new urbanization in Sichuan across five key dimensions: population growth, economic progress, social governance, public services, and ecological preservation. Furthermore, it employs an obstacle model to pinpoint the challenges hindering the progress of new urbanization in Sichuan, aiming to offer valuable insights for accelerating this transformative process.
