According to the newly released 2011 Report on Development of Small and Medium-sized Cities in China, Cixi ranks No. 9 among the top 100 Chinese small and medium cities with scientific development, the only city in Zhejiang province ranking among the top ten.

In recent years, with the development of neo-urbanization, Cixi has made breakthroughs in transformation and upgrading of industries, city development, ecological civilization development, entrepreneurship and innovation and improvement of people's livelihood. All in all, it has become a model of county urbanization.

It is said that since 2005, China Medium and Small City Economic Development Committee of China Society of Urban Economy has organized a project group, together with some related organizations such as the Institute of Urban Development and Environment Study, Chinese Academy of Social Science. The listed cities are assessed in terms of the level of scientific development, the construction of the two-oriented society, the investment potential and the regional driving force. The focus is to see whether the economy, society and environment develop harmoniously and whether the people benefit from the development and thus feel satisfied.

In addition, Cixi ranks No. 5 among the top ten two-oriented (resource-conserving and environment-friendly) small and medium cities of China 2011, and No. 9 among the top 100 small and medium-sized cities with strongest investment potential.
