They considered 5 different factors in their analysis; clustering of business resources, capability as a transport hub, quality of life of urban residents, diversity and the future capacity and potential of the economy.
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen still remain the most developed according to the index – with Chengdu, Hangzhou and Wuhan taking 6th, 7th and 8th place. Some cities now recognized as ‘first tier’ came as a surprise, such as Dongguan – it’s thought that the increase in international retailers such as Starbucks and Uniqlo, together with a strong electronic manufacturing sector contributed to this.
