7月14日至15日召开的中央城市工作会议，为我国城市发展与内需释放指明了新方向。 过往很长一段时间里，城镇化被视作我国最为雄厚的内需，其核心逻辑在于大量人口从农村向城镇迁 移，引发一系列连锁需求：住房需求带动房地产投资，教育、医疗等公共服务需求拉动基础设施建设投 资，同时消费模式从农村的相对单一转向城镇的多元丰富，带动市场规模持续扩大。而如今，这一最强 大的内需正逐渐聚焦于建设现代化人民城市，以实现从依赖人口迁移的规模效应，向依靠城市功能升级 的质量效应的深刻转变。 城镇化曾经通过要素集聚释放出了巨大的内需能量。2024年我国常住人口城镇化率达到了67%，与改革 开放初期不足20%的水平相比，有了质的飞跃。在此过程中，农村劳动力向城镇非农产业转移，极大地 推动了生产要素的优化配置，劳动生产率大幅提高。据测算，农业劳动力转向非农产业后，劳动生产率 平均提升3~5倍，2015~2023年累计拉动GDP增长约12%。与此同时，新增城镇人口的消费需求持续扩 张，其人均消费支出相较于农村居民高出1.8倍。若按年均新增城镇人口1000万计算，每年新增的消费 需求约为3000亿元。彼时，内需潜力主要体现在三个层面：房地产投 ...

开发商资金链压力不足是一方面，但不是根本问题。房企依赖开发贷、销售回款等资金来源受阻，银行贷款审批趋严、债券融资困难，叠加房价下跌导致的 资产缩水，进一步加剧债务违约问题。 但说到底，还是大家的市场信心不足造成的。居民对就业、收入预期减弱，叠加部分项目逾期交房事件，导致购房意愿持续低迷。房地产的最末端就是购房 者，如果他们出了问题，那整个环节就无法正常循环。 我说大家都没钱可能有点以偏概全，但是这就是问题。你不要说有钱的多的是，这没错，比如很多买豪宅的确实不缺钱，改善如果能把手里的房子卖掉也不 缺钱，可是不好卖，这个先不说。问题就在于刚需跟不上来。 从最近官方各种表态可以看出，房地产市场止跌回稳已经取得了一定成绩，但是还远远不够，止跌回稳仍需继续努力，接下来还会有政策组合拳来促进房地 产市场止跌回稳的速度加快。 您说房地产迟迟不能达到预期，主要卡点究竟在哪里呢？从理性的角度来看，当前的房地产市场确实有点循环不起来。 李稻葵此前也一直强调，我们的城镇化还远未到位，房地产问题与日本当年的情况完全不同。很多人在城里只能租房，但他们有定居的需求，房地产问题就 像前边提到的地方债一样需要被激活。 但李稻葵也认为，单靠地 ...

Core Viewpoint - The rise of "private handmade dumplings" as a business model among middle-aged women and full-time mothers in urban areas reflects a shift towards low-cost entrepreneurship, driven by the need for income while managing family responsibilities [7][9][10].
