Survey appraises economic growth, social development and environment.
该调查评估了经济增长、社会发展和环境。
With a sustainable and balanced growth pattern, Beijing outstripped its
closest economic competitor Shanghai to rank at the top of 295 cities
nationwide, in a rating from the nation’s top economic regulator.
以可持续和均衡的增长模式，北京超越其最接近的经济竞争对手上海，在全国最高经济监管机构评级中，位居全国295个城市之首。
The capital’s No 1 position is based on economic growth, social development
and environment in the China Integrated City Index, co-compiled by the National
Development and Reform Commission and Cloud River Urban Research Institute and
released last week.
首都北京位居第一位，基于经济增长、社会发展和环境因素在中国城市的综合指数，该排名由国家发展和改革委员会与云河城市研究所联合编制，并于上周发布。

Shenzhen, which ranked top in the environment
category, was No 3 overall in the index, following Beijing and Shanghai.
深圳在环境领域排名第一，总体排名在北京和上海之后，位居第三。
Zhou Muzhi, a professor of urban planning at Tokyo Keizai University and
one of lead authors of the study, said that openness and cultural legacy help
Beijing stand out from other outstanding economic performers.
东京科学大学城市规划教授，该研究的主要作者之一周慕子说，开放和文化遗产让北京从其他杰出的经济载体中脱颖而出。
But Beijing needs to make a lot more efforts to improve its environmental
situation if it wants to keep its top ranking, said Zhou, adding that
surrounding regions need to improve pollution control, especially Hebei
province, which relies heavily on natural resources.
如果要保持其最高排名，北京需要做更多的努力来改善其环境状况，周慕子说，周边地区需要改进污染控制，特别是严重依赖自然资源的河北省。
"Coal-fired plants located only several hours drive from Beijing remain a
major regional source of polluted air in the capital," he said.
他说：“距离北京只有几个小时车程的燃煤发电厂仍然是首都空气污染的主要来源。”
Ultimately, only cities with sustainable growth patterns will be able to
attract and retain residents, Zhou said, noting that cities located in China’s
three major urban clusters-the Yangtze River Delta, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei
region and the Pearl River Delta-currently attract huge population inflows.
周慕子说，最终只有具有可持续增长模式的城市才能吸引和留住居民，他指出，位于中国三大城市群——长江三角洲，京津冀地区和珠江三角洲的城市吸引着大量人口流入。
Seventeen of the top 30 cities where immigrants exceed permanent residents
are located in one of those three clusters, the study showed.
研究表明，30个榜首城市中，有17个城市的移民人口数量超过了永久居民。
Zhang Xueliang, an economics professor at Shanghai University of Finance
and Economics, said future city development is able to take advantage of
resources provided by the dominant city in these clusters.
上海财经大学经济学教授张学良表示，未来的城市发展能够利用这些集群中的主导城市提供的资源。
Hebei has challenges to overcome with its heavy industries, but it might
face fewer difficulties than other provinces-for example in Northeast China,
which grapples with overcapacity-by integrating resources from the capital and
taking advantage of convenient waterways in Tianjin, which has the largest
artificial harbor in north China, Zhang said.
河北在重工业方面面临挑战，但与其他省份相比，其面临的困难可能较少——例如在东北地区，产能过剩是个问题，必须通过整合首都的资源和善于利用天津作为中国北方城市最大人工港的便利水道，张学良说。
As for the rust belt Northeast, Xue Lan, dean of the School of Public
Policy and Management at Tsinghua University, said the major problem for the old
industrial bases is that local officials may sacrifice economic transformation
and continue to support industrial overcapacity to maintain short-term
growth.
对于锈带东北地区，清华大学公共政策与管理学院院长薛兰说，老工业基地的主要问题是地方官员可能牺牲经济转型，继续支持工业产能过剩已保持短期增长。
It could even be possible for the Northeast to exchange a slowdown in
short-term growth for healthy development in the long-run, Xue said. "More soft
infrastructure investment, say, in education, may be more helpful for the region
to retain talented people."
东北部甚至可能放缓短期增长以获得长远的健康发展，薛兰说。 “加大软的基础设施投资，例如教育，可能会更有助于该地区留住人才。” |
