Five of Top 30 of World’s Most Dynamic Cities in China

07.03.17

The world's most dynamic cities in JLL's fourth annual City Momentum Index (CMI) share the ability to embrace technological change, absorb rapid population growth and strengthen global connectivity.  According to the report, this year, five Mainland Chinese cities made it in the top 30, with Shanghai ranking fourth place. Asian cities make up half of the top 10, with Bangalore grabbing the top spot for the first time--the spot previously held by London in the last two years.

Covering 134 major business hubs across the globe, the annual index tracks the rate of change of a city's economy and commercial real estate market and identifies which cities have the most dynamic conditions.

Five Chinese cities from China are--Shanghai (4), Beijing (15), Shenzhen (22), Hangzhou (26) and Nanjing (29)--made it in the top 30, even as the Chinese national economy shows signs of slowing.

Infrastructure investment has been key to Shanghai's recent momentum, and the Shanghai metro plans to add another 250 kilometres of track and nine additional lines by 2025 to relieve congestion around the city, while also leveraging and integrating the strengths of the wider Yangtze River Delta region in order to create a globally-competitive city-region. Continuing deregulation of the financial sector is already having an impact, with more commercial banks setting up offices in the city, while the Shanghai stock exchange is now linked to the Hong Kong exchange (Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect). Shanghai is also leading the way for reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Many Chinese SOEs are held at the city or province level, and the city has encouraged consolidation and reorganisation of SOEs.

Joe Zhou, Head of Research for JLL China says, "Shanghai has strong ambitions to continue its growth and explicitly aims to become a global centre for both financial services and technological innovation. For now, Shanghai real estate market remains one of the world's most dynamic market, with strong demand being driven by the growth of domestic Chinese firms. "

Hangzhou features among the Global Top 30 cities for two of the index's three sub-categories, ranking 22nd for real estate momentum and 19th for socio-economic momentum. In many ways, Hangzhou's growth story is symbolic of China's ongoing transition from a manufacturing centre to a technology and service-based economy.
