This report presents the outcomes of a survey project of the
National Academy of Economic Strategy of the Chinese Academy of
Social Sciences and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme.
The project evaluated and ranked the competitiveness of 1,007
global cities, with a combined population of over 500,000, based on
a number of selected indicators. The report provides an overview of
the global urbanization pattern and areas of improvements in the
selected cities. The outcomes of the project confirm that the
formation and changes of global value chains have caused profound
changes in economic structures in some countries and affected the
development of cities in these countries, thereby reshaping the
city planet. In addition to comparative analysis of competitiveness
of cities, this report also sheds light on the global pattern and
trends of economic and human development. It reveals four new
findings regarding the development of cities around the world:
First, over the past four decades, human societies are
transitioning quickly from agricultural societies which are
characterized by scattered settlements to industrial societies
which are characterized by city clusters, interconnectivity, and
resource sharing. The planet where we are living has become a city
planet. Second, globalization and the advancements of smart and
networking technologies have accelerated urbanization across the
world in the past four decades. Third, cities are becoming
increasingly metropolitan, interconnected, and smart. Fourth,
sustainability scores of the selected global cities show
olive-shaped distribution on the world map and sustainability
performance of Asia cities has improved continuously.

This report was jointly launched by the National Academy of
Economic Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and
UN-HABITAT. Using the indicator system and objective data, the
competitiveness of 1,035 global cities was evaluated in detail. The
report measures the development pattern of global urban
competitiveness as a whole, and the gap between the relevant
parties and the ideal state. It has refreshed people's past
perceptions of urban rankings and confirmed that the science and
technology innovation center cities and central cities of emerging
economies have begun to break the inherent global cities and they
have entered the ranks of the most urban competitiveness.While
paying attention to the comparison of competitiveness among cities,
this report further promotes the perspective to the pattern and
trend change of global economic and social development from the
perspective of city. The followings are new findings: First,
information technology has increasingly become the primary driving
force for urban development; Second, it is the three meridians that
divide the global urban population and economic differentiation;
Third, the soft links between cities gradually dominate the global
urban system; Fourth, the formation of new global cities is
beginning.
By empirically assessing the competitiveness of 505 cities around
the world from regional, national and other perspectives, this book
not only ranks these cities but also presents a treasure trove of
information with regard to each city's relative strengths and
weaknesses. This unique resource draws on a wealth of data sources,
all of which are described and assessed, and involve urban
economics, geography, regional economics and many other fields.
Using a concise indexing system, sophisticated methodology, and
extensive figures and tables, it provides a comprehensive analysis
of global urban competitiveness in 2015. Given the scope of its
coverage, the book will be of great interest to readers such as
local authorities, decision-makers and economic planners in cities
throughout the world.

This book was jointly launched by the National Academy of Economic
Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and UN-HABITAT.
It uses the indicator system and objective data to evaluate the
competitiveness of 1006 cities in the world and measures the
overall development pattern of global punishment and
competitiveness. The important theoretical and practical issues in
the development of global cities are discussed. The book looks at
the world from the perspective of cities and believes that the
world will be fully urbanized in the 300 years from 1750 to 2050.
The book points out the challenges faced by global municipal
financing and systematically summarizes the experience and methods
of municipal financing and concludes that the average
competitiveness of global cities declined slightly due to the
decline of the average competitiveness of cities in China, the USA
and Europe. In addition, this book also launched the new global
urban classification standard of the Institute of Finance and
Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the United
Nations Human Settlements Programme for the first time and rated
1006 cities in the world.
