Primary stages Basic stages
Superior balanced development 0.8<D1 g(E)f(U)>0.1 Superiorly balanced development with lagging urbanization
f(U)g(E)>0.1 Superiorly balanced development with a lagging ecological environment
0|f(U)g(E)|0.1 Superiorly balanced development of urbanization and ecological environment
Barely balanced development 0.5<D0.8 g(E)f(U)>0.1 Barely balanced development with lagging urbanization
f(U)g(E)>0.1 Barely balanced development with a lagging ecological environment
0|f(U)g(E)|0.1 Barely balanced development of urbanization and ecological environment
Slightly unbalanced development 0.3<D0.5 g(E)f(U)>0.1 Slightly unbalanced development with hindered urbanization
f(U)g(E)>0.1 Slightly unbalanced development with a hindered ecological environment
0|f(U)g(E)|0.1 Slightly unbalanced development of urbanization and ecological environment
Seriously unbalanced development 0<D0.3 g(E)f(U)>0.1 Seriously unbalanced development with hindered urbanization
f(U)g(E)>0.1 Seriously unbalanced development with a hindered ecological environment
0|f(U)g(E)|0.1 Seriously unbalanced development of urbanization and ecological environment
