Why was Chaohu City downgraded?

The reasons for Chaohu City’s downgrade: Chaohu is sandwiched between Hewu and Ma, and its economic strength is the weakest among the four cities. After the zoning adjustment, Hefei, Wuhu, and Ma'anshan have benefited a lot, and the three cities have become one. The cluster effect can enhance regional core competitiveness, thereby accelerating Anhui's true integration into the Yangtze River Delta and even participating in economic globalization competition and cooperation.

Anhui Province believes that zoning adjustment will coordinate the layout of productivity and infrastructure construction on a larger scale, accelerate the process of industrialization and urbanization and the pace of urban and rural integration, and ultimately achieve the purpose of promoting coordinated development of urban and rural areas. The adjustment of administrative divisions is conducive to optimizing the land development pattern, comprehensively improving the construction of central cities in Anhui and undertaking industries, and cultivating core growth that leads the development of the province.
