The population size is an important indicator reflecting the potential for regional development. Recently, various regions have successively released population data, and many cities still have strong ability to gather population. Among them, the permanent residents of Guiyang, Changsha, and Nanchang increased by 199600, 103900, and 102200 respectively at the end of 2024 compared to the end of the previous year. Population is the foundation of talent, and talent leads to career development. In recent years, many regions have continued to cultivate industrial advantages, improve talent introduction policies, optimize urban living environments, and create talent gathering highlands. Attracting talent through industry is the key to attracting talent. Nanchang has been able to maintain a medium to high-speed population inflow in the past decade, thanks to the high-quality development of its manufacturing industry. In 2024, the growth rate of industrial added value above designated size in Nanchang will maintain the "first echelon" of provincial capital cities in China. The total investment of industrial projects with a scale of 100 million yuan or more in the city will exceed 250 billion yuan, and it will enter the top 50 advanced manufacturing cities in China in 2024. Weng Xianjie, Director of the Science and Technology Bureau of Nanchang City, introduced that in recent years, Nanchang City has accelerated the construction of regional science and technology innovation centers, focused on employment in the front line of industries, and created a gathering place for high-end talents. At present, the city has established 798 city level and above scientific and technological research and development platforms, including 9 national level platforms and 267 provincial level platforms; According to the Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, Nanchang has been included in the list of the world's top 100 technology clusters. Since 2021, Guizhou Province has vigorously implemented the "Strong Provincial Capital" strategy and made every effort to promote the integrated development of Guiyang, Guizhou, and Anhui.

Since 2013, Guiyang Gui'an has vigorously developed the big data industry based on its own advantages, attracting well-known domestic and foreign enterprises including Huawei, Tencent, Apple, Alibaba, etc. to settle in. Currently, a complete big data industry chain covering data collection, storage, processing, application and other links has been formed, which has formed a strong attraction for talents in related industries. Changsha, supported by the frontier industries, ranks sixth among the top 100 cities in China's advanced manufacturing industry and has been honored with national honors such as a pilot city for new manufacturing technology transformation, a pilot city for the "vehicle road cloud integration" application of intelligent connected vehicles, and a pilot city for the large-scale application of Beidou in the industrial and information technology fields. At present, Changsha has built six billion yuan level manufacturing clusters, including engineering machinery, advanced energy storage materials, electronic information, automobiles and parts, and has cultivated a total of three national level advanced manufacturing clusters and two national level characteristic industrial clusters for small and medium-sized enterprises. Since last year, Changsha has been fully committed to building a global R&D center city, steadily advancing the construction of "one city, one district, and three bases". Seven major projects, including the R&D enterprise (center) agglomeration project, strategic platform support project, innovation level improvement project, industrial cluster empowerment project, achievement transformation and efficiency improvement project, science and technology talent strengthening project, and innovation environment optimization project, have been accelerated, forming a high-quality innovation ecosystem that provides a deep fertile ground for talent innovation and entrepreneurship. The completeness and implementation of policies to attract talent are important factors in attracting talent. Guiyang is firmly implementing the "talent driven city" strategy, focusing on the four aspects of talent attraction, cultivation, utilization, and retention, and making every effort to build the "talent building" brand, deeply carrying out the "retention and construction" action for college students, and striving to become a "talent reservoir in the province". Guizhou Gui'an focuses on the five key elements of "card, money, household, housing, and job" to make precise efforts, and the attractiveness of talent policies continues to increase. The 'most relaxed' household registration policy has been introduced, allowing graduates from vocational schools to settle down. For young talents from other places who come to Guiyang for job hunting, exams, and interviews, free accommodation is provided for 7 to 30 days. Chen Rui, Director of Guiyang Talent Service Center, introduced that Guiyang will continue to optimize its talent policies, provide a favorable development environment for all types of talents, and enable more talents to both "work happily" and "live comfortably", so that more people can come to Guiyang to build, pursue and fulfill their dreams. In Changsha, 12 youth talent stations provide free accommodation for college students who come to find jobs for 4 days and 3 nights; Youth innovation and entrepreneurship service platforms such as "Xiang Qingchuang" provide comprehensive support for makers...

The cumulative amount of talent living subsidies and housing subsidies has exceeded 4 billion yuan, benefiting more than 290000 talents; Anchoring the goal of attracting "100000 talents" to come and stay in Chang every year, we will continue to carry out a series of talent recruitment activities such as "Hundred Campus Recruitment" and "Ten Thousand Students Visit Nanchang". In 2024, Nanchang was selected as the "National Talent Friendly City", the "Most Talent Attractive City in China in 2024" and the "Best Talent Development Ecological City in 2024". Fu Yu is a native of Nanchang. After returning from studying abroad, he rooted himself in his hometown and founded a company. The Nanchang Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurship Support Program has provided special support for starting businesses in China, offering a one-stop service from green channels for enterprise registration to rapid registration of intellectual property rights, truly solving the pain points of start-up enterprises, "said Fu Yu. A good living environment built by retaining talents through the environment can not only attract talents, but also retain them. The overall national spatial planning of Changsha proposes to promote the integration of "parks, campuses, scenic spots, urban areas, and communities" into an "innovative ecosystem". In key areas such as Malanshan Video Cultural and Creative Park, Xiangjiang Science City, and Yuelu Mountain University Science and Technology City, we will lay out youth entrepreneurship spaces, entrepreneurial dream factories, etc., providing low-cost and full chain growth space for small and micro science and technology innovation enterprises, attracting more young talents to start businesses and realize their dreams in Changsha. Changsha City will focus on improving childcare facilities, high-quality kindergartens, and community elderly care service centers to alleviate the pressure of "caring for the young and supporting the elderly" for young people, allowing them to work with ease and develop with peace of mind. At the same time, over 100 kilometers of Xiaoxiang fitness trails and 50 community sports parks will be built in the next five years, allowing young people to be seen everywhere in the city. In recent years, Nanchang has increased investment in transportation, education, healthcare, and housing, and has built a sponge city with a standard area of about 180.8 square kilometers. Create 25 demonstration areas for "sitting on the ground" in urban living rooms, build 18 green demonstration roads, 12 urban greenways, 8 pocket parks, and 25 "15 minute convenient living circles". The excellent rate of air quality indicators ranks first among provincial capitals in central China. Next, Nanchang will pay more attention to the two-way flow of industries and talents, and focus more on the coordinated development of policies and services. ”Gao Shiwen, Deputy Secretary of the Nanchang Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, stated that he will use his heart, emotions, and efforts to solve the problems of housing, healthcare, children's education, and elderly care that talents are concerned about, and create a talent ecology that is both nearby and far away. Guiyang vigorously promotes the construction of the "City of Thousand Parks", making full use of urban corners, abandoned land, etc., and "seizing every opportunity" to build "pocket parks" to meet the needs of citizens for rest, walking, and exercise. According to statistics, the total number of various parks in Guiyang City has reached 1025, and the urban park pattern of "green at 300 meters and park at 500 meters" has basically taken shape. Our urban renewal is not a simple physical spatial transformation, but a systematic project of urban functional reconstruction and improvement of people's livelihood and well-being. ”The relevant person in charge of Guiyang Urban Renewal Affairs Center stated that modern urban development concepts such as smart communities, cultural memory, and safety resilience will be integrated into urban renewal, truly achieving the transformation goal of "upgrading happiness at the doorstep".
