On May 30, the international management consulting firm A.T. Kearney (hereinafter referred to as "Kearney") released the 2019 global city index report, revealing the world's most competitive cities and the world's most potential cities. This year is the third consecutive year that New York has maintained the first comprehensive ranking of global cities; In China, Beijing ranked 9th in the global urban comprehensive ranking list, and Hangzhou and Suzhou entered the top 100 for the first time, ranking 91st and 95th respectively. London ranks first in the global ranking of urban potential.

Colney company was founded in Chicago in 1926 and now has branches in more than 40 countries. Its global city index report was first released in 2008 and was jointly sponsored by Kearney company and international top scholars and think tanks. Based on in-depth analysis of facts and public data of more than 130 cities, the report aims to systematically assess the international competitiveness and development potential of cities around the world.

The 2019 global city index report includes the comprehensive ranking of global cities and the ranking of global urban potential. The two lists rank 130 cities in the world, including 26 Chinese cities. They respectively evaluate the performance of the world's top cities and the development potential of cities in the future. This year, New York and London have maintained their leading positions in the comprehensive ranking of global cities, but the study also shows that even the world's leading cities should always be vigilant to prevent being overtaken.

This year's research shows that the growth momentum of Chinese cities has not decreased, and the average score growth rate of composite index ranking is three times that of North American cities; In the ranking of potential cities, the growth rate is 3.4 times that of European cities.

Beijing ranks No. 9 in the comprehensive ranking of global cities, and the total score gap between Beijing and Singapore is only one third of that in 2015. Beijing's rapid momentum is due to the outstanding progress in human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, political affairs and the stable performance of commercial activities. Suzhou entered the top 100 for the first time, which contributed to the prosperity of its commercial activities, especially the improvement of freight volume.

The 2019 global city index report puts forward that the biggest difference factor determining the competitiveness of cities is people. Attracting and retaining human capital can make cities in a leading position and accelerate their success. Human capital will ensure the sustainable success of rapidly rising Chinese cities in the future.

'the 2019 global city index report shows that the competition for human capital and enterprise investment among the world's leading cities is still fierce, and emerging cities and regions are competing with long-term leading cities and regions. ' Mike Hales, global partner of Kearney company and one of the sponsors and authors of this report, said.

For the third consecutive year, New York has ranked first in the comprehensive ranking of global cities, and London ranks first in the global urban potential ranking

The comprehensive ranking of global cities ranks the current situation of cities based on 27 indicators in five dimensions: business activities, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience and political affairs. The index analyzes the influence, performance and development level of major cities in the world, and selects the most competitive cities in the world. This year is the third consecutive year that New York has maintained the top position, thanks to its improved score in business activities and strong performance in human capital absorption.

The score competition between the 6th and 10th places on the list of comprehensive ranking of global cities this year is becoming more and more intense. The score gap between Singapore phi (6th) and Los Angeles (7th), Chicago (8th) and Beijing (9th) is less than 0.5 points, which reflects the fierce competition among the world's top cities in the next stage of competition.

In addition, Houston, Sydney, Dublin and Tokyo have made significant progress in the two lists this year. Among them, Houston jumped from 41st to 35th, mainly because it attracted more multinational enterprises. Sydney rose 4 places from 15th to 11th in the comprehensive ranking, mainly due to the growth of higher education population and the improvement of media openness.

At the same time, another major trend this year is that the overall score of Europe's leading cities has stagnated, especially the decline in the score of human capital dimension, which fully reflects that the talent factor is the key to building long-term sustainable urban competitiveness in both developed and developing countries.

The global urban potential ranking ranks the future potential of cities based on 13 key indicators in the four dimensions of residents' happiness, economic status, innovation and governance. Through the evaluation of environmental protection performance, supporting infrastructure, innovation ability and other indicators, help investors consider the long-term investment potential and success possibility of the city.

The global urban potential ranking selected emerging cities comparable to old cities. Thanks to its steady pace of development, London jumped to the top of the list this year. After four consecutive years at the top of the potential list, San Francisco fell to third place this year. Although it still scored high in innovation, its performance in residents' happiness and governance was overtaken by other leading cities.

Dublin's potential ranking rose the most, soaring from 33rd to 9th. Dublin's amazing performance benefits from the city's great progress in the field of economy and innovation, which shows that Dublin is growing into a global technology development center and has a promising future. Tokyo's potential ranking rose 8 places to No. 6 this year, partly due to the improvement of residents' happiness.

"The best city in the world is not only a good place to invest and work, but also a good place to live," said Erik Peterson, global partner of Kearney company and managing director of Kearney global business policy committee. "To maintain competitiveness, cities need to pay attention to residents' happiness in all aspects of life, From ensuring affordable housing and employment opportunities to providing public services and a healthy environment. "

Beijing ranks ninth in the comprehensive ranking of global cities, and Suzhou has entered the top 100 for the first time

Chinese cities continue to outperform other cities around the world. This year's research shows that the growth momentum of Chinese cities has not decreased, and the average score growth rate of composite index ranking is three times that of North American cities; In the ranking of potential cities, the growth rate is 3.4 times that of European cities.

This year, Chinese cities have made remarkable achievements in the list of comprehensive ranking of global cities. Beijing ranks ninth on the list, with a total score gap of only one-third of that in 2015 compared with Singapore's sixth place. Beijing's rapid momentum is due to the outstanding progress in human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, political affairs and the stable performance of commercial activities.

Suzhou entered the top 100 for the first time, ranking 95th. The gap between Suzhou and the world's top cities has been rapidly shortened, and its commercial activities have been prosperous, especially the improvement of freight volume. Compared with last year's list, Changsha ranked up 11 places and ranked 113th. The rise in Changsha's ranking can also be attributed to the rise in business activities and human capital scores. It is becoming a new radiation and growth pole in central and southern China.

Chongqing rose 9 places to 105th, mainly driven by human capital. Zhengzhou rose 9 places and ranked 119. Its biggest driving force is the increase of business activity index.

In addition, Shanghai's ranking is consistent with last year's list, still ranking 19th; Ningbo, Wuxi, Foshan and Yantai are all new faces in the global comprehensive ranking of cities, and their ranking is higher than that when they were first shortlisted in 2018.

As the overall urbanization process slows down, urban development can not only talk about growth. The 2019 global city index report believes that if Chinese cities want to establish sustainable competitiveness and open a new chapter of rise, they should focus on citizens, focus on promoting the healthy development of population structure and the improvement of citizens' personal happiness, and attract more talents and foreign investment.

Wang Yu, global partner of Kearney company and head of government and economic development business of Kearney Greater China, said, 'the rise of Chinese cities in the global city index has left a deep impression. However, our analysis of China's urban development shows that creating more livable, sustainable and reasonable cost of living cities will be the key to its sustainable growth. Both the government and enterprises will play an important role in the next round of urban transformation and upgrading. "
