This study surveys economic development in Beijing and Shanghai, and recommends strategies, based on the experiences of other global megacities, for each city to sustain economic growth in the medium term. The study begins by reviewing the role of urban regions in China's economic growth, then makes a case for continued investment in the manufacturing industry. It then examines the economic patterns of four global cities (Chicago, London, New York, and Tokyo) to find trends to inform development in Beijing and Shanghai. For Shanghai, the book argues for a strategy that puts more stress on manufacturing industries producing complex capital goods and high-tech components. For Beijing, the book proposes a strategy that focuses on the high-tech and creative industries, supporting business services, and activities that complement the functioning of government agencies. The study will be of interest to policy makers, urban planners, business people, and researchers. Yusuf and Nabeshima are affiliated with the World Bank Institute.
