McKinsey developed an innovative, unique perspective on the
booming urbanization in China
Methodology
Sources of distinctiveness
• Econometric model
• Granularity – Yearly
(22,000+ equations) –
macro and demographic
forecast 2007-2025
• Scenario analysis –
4 alternative scenarios
depicting contrasting
directions for China's future
urbanization, size
and pattern
• City visits – visited 14
different cities and
interviewed >100 local
government officials and
business leaders to
complement the
model findings

series data consistent with
theory and individual city
behavior, providing data
and forecasts for 858
cities, including 195
"unofficial cities"
Chinese cities are redefining urbanization scale,
over the next 20 years …
How many additional people will
live in Chinese cities vs today?
More than 350 million people, more than
the population of the entire United States
How many cities in China will
have more than one million
inhabitants?
More than 200 cities; in Europe today there
are only 35 cities of that size
How many new skyscrapers will
be built?
There will be up to 50,000 new
skyscrapers, the equivalent of building ten
New York cities
How many new mass transit
systems will be built?
Up to 170 new mass transit systems; in
Europe today there are about 70
By 2025, two-thirds of China’s
citizens will live in cities …
… that’s nearly 1 billion people

• We discovered that
there are various
ways to define
Chinese cities (e.g.
Chongqing)
• We corrected
statistical distortions
(e.g. hukou vs
census)
• We uncovered 195
“hidden cities”
• We established that
migration is only
half the story

* Include 663 official cities and 195 additional areas that we consider as cities using various government criteria to qualify them. These criteria were discontinued
in 1996 for practical reasons but, in our view, remain valid

The urbanization research produced a set of insights which are
very relevant for businesses
Urbanization is inevitable – and
cities will be the clear drivers of
China's economic growth
• 1 billion urban population
• >90% GDP from urban areas
City clusters will provide a new
lens to assess opportunities
in China
• 11 clusters are emerging, with average
Different urbanization paths
could drive significantly different
outcomes for China
Variability between urbanization scenarios:
• 20% in GDP
• 15-30% of demand for natural resources
Investment growth will
continue, and public spending will
come along
• 40+ trillion USD (2005 through 2025)
• 170+ new MT systems, 360'000+ km of
Burgeoning middle and upper
middle class will take off
China's "growing pains" will
generate new markets and
business opportunities

population of ~60 millions and ~60% of
total urban investments
new water pipe, x6 healthcare spending
• Middle class (household income 40k-200k
RMB/yr) will make up almost 80% of total
consumption
• Spending in key areas such as
environmental protection is bound to raise
(e.g., 100% SO2 scrubbers)
China is moving toward an urban billion

At local level, regardless of scenarios, it is possible to define
an "urban productivity agenda" for Chinese cities NOT EXHAUSTIVE
High-level initiatives
Examples of detailed initiatives
Land
• Create strategic land development plans
Resources
Economics
People
Build dense cities
with integrated
urban planning
design
Manage demand,
not only supply of
resources
• Incentivize energy and water efficient
industrial equipment
• Establish and enforce energy saving building codes
• Increase control, emission standards on pollutants
Increase
productivity in
public services and
capital expenditures
• Introduce productivity based performance systems
Improve quality
and relevance of
educational
process
• Partner with local companies to increase

(combining zoning, building heights, transit plans)
• Develop integrated, mixed use areas
• Implement car traffic demand management
on public service provision (e.g., healthcare)
• Increase transparency in city budgets and
infrastructure spending
internship / team work (e.g., establishing joint
vocational education and training institutions)
• Introduce performance management systems on
labor productivity and employability measures
rather than, for example, enrollment rate
The China urbanization story
• China's urban success story will continue, with massive changes in the next 20 years
– China has set ambitious economic goals. Urbanization is key to make that happen –
urban GDP / capita will grow five times and cities will generate more than 90%
of China's GDP
– Urbanization will continue, but with it will be different from the urbanization
China experienced in the past 15 years (e.g., migration will be the driving force)
– Pressure will intensify on several areas and will need to be managed, especially if
China continues to follow a dispersed pattern of urbanization – land and spatial
development, resources and pollution, human capital, funding
• There is an opportunity to shape China's future towards a more productive
urbanization – with policy interventions both at national and local level
– Between all possible urban shapes, concentrated growth is the most efficient and
beneficial way to go for China (higher GDP, more efficient use of resources, more
productivity from its talent pool)
– "City level productivity initiatives" are an opportunity to reduce the cost of
urbanization while increasing quality of life (China could cut its public spending
needs by 2.5% of GDP, reduce SO2 and NOx emissions by upwards of 35%; halve
its water pollution; and deliver private sector savings equivalent to an additional 1.7%
of GDP in 2025) and opening new business opportunities
