The results of the "2023 China's Most Livable Cities" survey were announced at the Happy Cities of China Forum 2023 held in Chengdu on November 24th.

Among the cities recognized, Guangzhou has earned this prestigious title for the sixth time, following its previous wins in 2010, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022.

Residents know best whether a city is livable. For the people living in Guangzhou, the key to their happiness lies in the extensive coverage and improvement of public services. With nearly two million people aged 60 and above, Guangzhou has catered to the elderly care needs by establishing 178 comprehensive health centers since 2020, offering services such as full-time and daytime care in every neighborhood.

A livable city is friendly towards both the elderly and children. In Yuexiu District, a less than 200-meter-long alley has been transformed into the enchanting "Most Beautiful Route to School," adorned with adorable cats and awakening lions on its walls. This initiative has injected a sense of fun into what was once a dull and monotonous path through an old community.

The livable features of Guangzhou are hidden in every detail of daily life. Currently, the city has constructed over 1,400 public mother-and-baby rooms, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for mothers and their babies when they are away from home.

Improving the city's infrastructure is at the heart of enhancing the overall well-being. Guangzhou is actively engaged in urban renewal projects, revitalizing old communities, rejuvenating ancient villages, and beautifying urban villages. So far, the city has renovated 907 old neighborhoods and built 958 community green spaces and public areas. From a small fishing village to the bustling Pazhou Village accommodating a multi-billion-dollar e-commerce headquarters cluster, and from old factories transformed into the birthplace of WeChat, these "internet-famous spots" and "beautiful communities" with Lingnan characteristics have emerged, leaving lasting memories about the city and preserving a sense of nostalgia for the residents.

广州六次上榜中国最具幸福感城市

“2023中国最具幸福感城市”调查推选结果24日在成都举行的2023中国幸福城市论坛上发布。

其中，广州是继2010年、2018年、2019年、2020年和2022年五次获评“中国最具幸福感城市”后，第六次获此殊荣。

城市幸福与否，百姓感受最直接。对广州人而言，幸福感高不高关键看民生服务有没有广覆盖、优调整。在广州，60岁及以上群体将近200万，自2020年以来，广州已建设178个具备全托、日托等综合功能的颐康中心，分布每一个镇街回应社区老人养老需求。

城市幸不幸福，要看对老人和儿童是否友好。在广州市越秀区，一条不足200米的小巷墙壁上绘制了憨态可掬的猫咪、醒狮，原本枯燥无味的小路经由老旧社区微改造化身为充满童趣的“最美上学路”。

广州的幸福，还藏在每一个民生细节里。目前，广州市共建成公共场所母婴室1400多间，用小小一方母婴室，护航母婴出行。

小切口里藏着大民生，广州努力做好城市更新改造，让老社区新起来，古村落活起来，城中村靓起来。截至目前，全市累计完成改造老旧小区907个，新增社区绿地和公共空间958个。从小渔村到毗邻千亿级电商总部集聚区的琶洲村，从老厂房变身微信发源地，一个个具有岭南特色的“网红景点”“美好社区”应运而生，让城市留下记忆，让人们记住乡愁。
