According to the report, Beijing has made significant progress across second-level indicators of the evaluation dimensions, ranking first in the "sci-tech innovation" and "culture and education" indicators among all evaluated cities; the most notable improvement was in the indicator of "digital network", where Beijing leaped to the first from the sixth in the previous report.
