Usually，Central Business District （CBD） is a leading area，where modern service industry is well developed，in a metropolitan or super-metropolitan city. In the process of strengthening city resilience，especially，during the late period of covid-19 in 2020，CBD plays a role of economic engine. CBD innovative transformation has promoted regional development，which is significantly important for the growth of urban economy，guaranteeing for people’s livelihood and employment，revitalizing the city to radiate surrounding regions and promote their development.

The theme of this book is promoting CBD development by innovation and transformation and it measures the development situation of the urban area of the selected first-tier cities and new first-tier cities，of which，the urban area works as the CBD location. The measurement is made by adopting an entropy evaluation method to determine the weight. Specifically，it is conducted by constructing a series of indexes，including CBD comprehensive development index，regional radiation index and business environment index. In order to precisely reflect CBD development，the author makes each index consist of a number of sub-indexes. For instance，comprehensive development index includes the indexes of economic growth，economy-driving，scientific and technological innovation and social development. Regional radiation index consists of radiation capability，radiation actions and radiation performance，etc. Meanwhile，the author has constructed quotas of CBD building economy index，which specifically includes tax contribution，number of headquarter enterprises，number of 100 million Yuan tax revenue building，number of business buildings，building vacancy ratio and building rent. CBD business environment index includes economic and industrial structure index，population and life environmental index，and commercial operational environment index，etc. Through these four index systems，the author has described the present state and dynamic trend of these four index systems and provided important references to CBD innovation and high-quality development.
