Chengdu: Top Emerging Global City
Chengdu tops Forbes’ list of emerging global cities, no surprise to me or to Tidbits readers. The city is cited for its quality of life, lower wages relative to coastal China, and its growing technology base, anchored by such western companies as Motorola, Microsoft, and Intel.
Forbes’ criteria for inclusion in the list include receptive local governments, a rapidly growing consumer class, ample land for development.
Other cities selected include Toulouse, France; Pune, India; Warsaw, Poland; Abu Dhabi, UAE; Curitiba, Brazil; and Tripoli, Libya.
