Abstract

Based on the connotation of high-quality development and the five new development concepts of “innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing”, this paper constructs a three-level indicator measurement system for the level of high-quality development of a city. Using the respective advantages of the entropy value method and CRITIC method, the weights of indicators are assigned at different levels. At the same time, the TOPSIS method is combined to measure the level of urban development and get the ranking of national cities in terms of high-quality development level. By analyzing the weights of the indicators, the direction that should be emphasized in the high-quality development of Chinese cities is further analyzed.
