First-tier cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, failed to make the list of habitable cities even though they are in the top 10 in terms of commercial advantages, unification of city and countryside, and culture development, according to a report on China's urban competitiveness from the National Academy of Economic Strategy under the Chine Academy of Social Sciences.
Only two first-tier cities, Hong Kong and Macao, are among the country's most livable cities, said the report.

"I'm proud of the cultural diversification in the city, but it's a pity that Beijing sacrifices the most basic esntials, air and water, simply in exchange for all the rapid development."
In the past decade, there have been mounting problems in cities nationwide, including traffic jams, housing tension and food safety issues.

However, many first-tier cities, despite their outstanding competitiveness, are barely people-oriented and hardly satisfactory in ecological protection, Li said.
