Times are changing, and the global pattern of cities has changed. The so-called "global city" is no longer the "patent" of Europe and the United States, the rise of China has also led to a growing number of global cities in Asia. The 2010 "Global City Index" feature report was jointly launched by the United States ' Kearney consulting firm and the Chicago Global Affairs Committee. Unlike in previous years, 5 of the top ten global cities in 2010 were distributed in Asia, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney (reported by Asian cities) and Seoul. The United States has only 3 cities on the list, and Europe has shrunk to 2. As people migrate from rural to urban areas, urbanization has become increasingly apparent. According to the report, the global urbanization is changing from west to East, and by 2025, 70% of Chinese will live in the metropolis of more than 1 million people. Beijing to develop systematic GDP you will hear the words "rising Asia" and "China and India" When you hear the story of the future "urbanisation". The report notes that in the future, Asia's urbanization coverage will reach an alarming 50%, and nearly 1 billion of the population will migrate from towns to cities. And trillion dollars will be invested in expanding urban networks. China and India have led the development of global urbanization, and by 2025, 70% of Chinese will live in the metropolis of more than 1 million people. The report pointed out that Beijing's development is systematic--the government invests in the former, allocates the land, plans the transportation, then opens the capital market. In addition, GDP reflects the scale of a city's development on the other hand. Tokyo's dense population and high levels of commercialization have created the world's highest urban GDP, and Beijing needs to work harder on it, with only 33 of the world's urban GDP in Beijing. The advantages of the old City obviously Beijing development can be referenced "success still breeds success", the old global city of New York, London, Tokyo, Paris is still "four strong players." The four also have advantages, the report points out, New York has a capital market, Tokyo has most Fortune 500 companies, London has a large number of international tourists, and Paris is always a luxury fashion capital. And these advantages will be magnified in the future. The report argues that the traditional "political center" is not the most "global", with Washington ranking only 13, while Beijing is 15 and Berlin is 16. To become a "global city", the first four indicators can be used as a reference for development. In order to reach the global Urban Development Index, the report surveyed more than 1 million people in 65 cities around the world, and finally got the ranking by taking into account the city's business activities, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, political participation and so on, and synthesizing the list of Fortune's global Top 500 corporate headquarters.
