The 19th largest city with a population of 10 million is not far away. Recently, the “Foshan Population Development Plan” was released, and it is proposed that the resident population will reach 10.16 million people by 2030. Last year, the resident population of Foshan reached 9.69 million, which is only one step away from the 10 million mark. In the next few years, as long as we achieve an average annual increase of about 50,000, there won't be much of a doubt about standing at 10 million. Once Foshan breaks through, it will become the 4th largest city in Guangdong and the 19th largest city in the country with a population of 10 million; it will also become the 17th “double million” city in the country with a GDP exceeding trillion dollars and a population exceeding 10 million. Previously, Guangdong Province had three major cities with a population of 10 million: Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan. Among them, the resident population of Guangshen is close to 20 million, and the real-time population is as high as 24 million.
