Abstract
By using game theory, this paper analyzes the problem of positioning competition of a city in a multidimensional attribute psychological space. The results show that in equilibrium, homogeneity, and differentiation of city positioning coexist, homogeneity in most aspects and differentiation in a key aspect. The results of a multi-stage dynamic game between two cities show that the benefits of simultaneous positioning and successive positioning are quite different. There exists a remarkable first-mover advantage in the city positioning game.
