China’s megacities
July 18, 2008
The latest McKinsey Quarterly is a special China edition.
It has some great articles including a piece on the future of China’s cities. The scale of here is quite incredible- McKinsey’s Global Institute predicts that if country trends continue China’s cities by 2025 will break down into the following sizes;
Mega- 10 million +
120
Big- 5-10 million
111
Midsize-0.5 mllion-1.5 million
311
Small-.5-1.1.5 million
228
Big Town- Less than 500k
156
The increase in the urban population will be 325 million, including 230 million migrants. Obviously, this will it not be without problems as land is taken to build these things, but the idea that one country will have over 100 cities with a population of over 10 million each is quite staggering.
