terms of overall sustainability based on a set of social,
economic, and environmental indicators. Urbanization in China is
proceeding at a rate and scale unparalleled by any other
migration in recent history. China’s urban population is
projected to grow by about 250 million people—more than the
total population of Brazil today—by 2025. Also by 2025, 202
Chinese cities will have more than one million residents,
compared with 35 such cities in all of Europe today, and 50,000
skyscrapers could be built, the equivalent of constructing New
York City from scratch ten times over. If current trends
continue, the proportion of China’s GDP generated by cities will
rise from 80 percent to 90 percent over the same period. Indeed,
China’s continued urbanization is central to meeting the
country’s aggressive growth targets, with the country currently
on track to triple GDP between 2010 and 2025. C
