2 Foreword The world has changed. The roles which cities, nation states and international organisations play have evolved significantly as a result of multinational companies, globalisation of supply chains, the internet, terrorism, climate change and many other issues which have transcended national boundaries. At the same time, the variety of communities within a nation s borders makes it almost impossible to develop national policies which can be implemented at a local level. While nation states are, and should be, responsible for external issues such as security, and some basic services such as healthcare, education and legal frameworks, cities are responsible for improving their residents life, developing their economy and establishing resilience against any natural, economic or social threats. Cities collaborate in very different ways to nation states. There is, however, a deliberate shift of power to cities and their local governments. City governments aim to create vibrant societies which are flexible, diversified and resilient, and provide job opportunities as well as leisure, learning and cultural opportunities. Today s world cities must be open, fair and accessible, encouraging entrepreneurship as well as the cross-pollination of ideas through spontaneous interactions and creative chaos. The built environment in terms of urban planning, zoning, density levels, infrastructure, walkability, preservation of heritage sites and public facilities has an important role to play. 2 James Macdonald Head of China Research

China was not that far behind, reaching the same benchmark in Given that so many people live in cities, it is very important to understand what makes them tick, what works and what doesn t. 4 Source:

5 GDP GDP GDP by city tier 2, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 20% 2, ,800 2,000 16% 1,600 RMB billion 1,500 1,000 12% 8% RMB billion 1,400 1,200 1, % % China has entered a new phase in its economic development as the returns from fixed asset investment diminish, labour costs increase and the scope for productivity gains in the manufacturing sector fade (especially in first-tier cities). China has embarked upon an aggressive campaign to reorientate itself towards a consumer market, focusing on higher value manufacturing and services (particularly finance) while investing in new technologies and R&D. 5

6 GDP growth GDP growth index GDP growth index by city tier PY = YoY change vs previous 5yr average 6 ppts ppts ppts ppts PY = ppts ppts ppts While first-tier cities have started to record a rebound in growth rates in recent years, lower tier cities (especially in the heavy manufacturing areas in the north-east) continue to decline. In 2013, growth rates in first-tier cities increased 0.4 of a ppt to 9.4% versus declines in all other city tiers. While these growth rates slowed in 2014, first-tier city growth rates are now more in line with lower tier cities than they have been at any point over the last five years. 6

7 RMB GDP per capita GDP per capita GDP per capita by city tier 180, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 18% 120, ,000 16% 140,000 14% 100, , ,000 12% 10% RMB 80,000 80,000 8% 60,000 60,000 6% 40,000 4% 40,000 20, % 0% 20, While Shanghai and Beijing are at the top in terms of GDP, they come relatively far down the ranking when it comes to GDP per capita as large populations lower overall figures. Dynamic Shenzhen is top amongst first and second tier cities, accompanied by a number of second-tier cities located in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region, including Wuxi and Suzhou. 7

Most cities are making similar transitions, though at different rates. Some of the lower tier cities have been a net receiver of manufacturing operations in recent years as leading cities augment their services sector. This means that while the services sector grows in these lower tier cities, the ratio of contribution does not change by much. In recent years this has changed but it may have more to do with a slowdown in manufacturing than a pickup in services. 8

9 Fixed asset investment (FAI) FAI by tier city FAI breakdown, 2013 RMB million 600, , , , % 8% 3% 3% 3% 10% 33% Manufacturing Real Estate Water Conser, Envir. & Utility Mgt Transport, Storage & Postal Electricity, Gas & Water Mining 200,000 Farming etc. 100,000 9% Wholesale and Retail Trade Other % Fixed asset investment levels in second-tier cities have, on average, exceeded first-tier cities for the last four years. The vast majority of FAI is accounted for by manufacturing (33%) and real estate (27%). As first-tier cities reorientate themselves away from manufacturing and towards services, there has been a corresponding drop-off in FAI. At the same time, a lack of developable land and the high cost of new builds have limited growth of new real estate construction in leading cities. 9

10 Fixed asset investment (cont.) FAI by city FAI per capita by tier city 1,200, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 30% 70, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 35% 1,000,000 25% 60,000 30% 800,000 20% 50,000 25% RMB million 600, ,000 15% 10% RMB 40,000 30,000 20% 15% 200,000 5% 20,000 10% 0 0% 10,000 5% % Second-tier cities, on the other hand, are continuing to invest heavily in both high-end manufacturing and real estate (especially new master planned areas), spurring the growth of FAI. FAI spend per capita averaged close to RMB60,000 in second-tier cities versus just shy of RMB30,000 in first-tier cities. While the highest per capita spend is in second tier cities, it is the lower tier cities which are recording the strongest growth rates in FAI. Fifth-tier cities recorded a 5yr CAGR of close to 25% in 2013 versus 12.7% in second-tier cities. 10

11 Retail sales Retail sales of consumer goods as a % of GDP Retail sales by city 80 GDP Retail sales of consumer goods Retail sales as a % of GDP 50% 1, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 30% % 26% 60 45% % RMB trillion % RMB billion % 20% 18% 16% 20 35% % 12% % % Despite the government s attempts to make private consumption one of the key drivers of the Chinese economy, according to the World Bank private consumption in China only accounted for 34.1% of GDP in 2013, down from 35.9% in This is in contrast to the NBS figures which show that retail sales as a percentage of GDP have increased from 34.9% in 2007 to 42.7% in

12 Retail sales (cont.) Retail sales by city tier Retail sales per capita , Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 20% ,000 40,000 18% 16% ,000 14% RMB billion RMB 30,000 25,000 12% 10% ,000 8% ,000 6% ,000 5,000 4% 2% % Retail sales growth rates do not vary as much as some of the indicators reviewed; year-on-year (YoY) nominal growth was between 13.5% and 15.0% in 2013 while 5yr CAGR was between 14.5% and 17%. Generally, first-tier cities with a larger base of comparison recorded slightly lower growth rates. While average retail sales for first-tier cities were RMB719 billion in 2013 more than double those of second-tier cities, when worked out on a per capita basis first-tier cities recorded 25% more retail sales per capita than secondtier cities. 12

13 RMB Disposable income (urban households) Disposable income (urban households) Disposable income (urban households) by tier city 50, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 18% 45, ,000 40,000 35,000 17% 16% 15% 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 14% 13% RMB 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 12% 11% 10% 20,000 15,000 5,000 9% 10, % 5, Disposable income for urban households comprises wages (64%), transfer income (24%), family business (9%) and property income (3%). Many analysts believe that income figures grossly underestimate income levels, especially in the higher income bandwidth, where grey income or unreported income could be twice what is reported. This would mean that while the top 10% of income earners are reported to have made RMB63,800 per annum in 2012, the true figure is closer to RMB192,000 per annum. This has significant implications for estimates of indicators such as residential affordability and savings rates, especially in first-tier cities and some second-tier cities where the majority of the wealthy reside. 13

14 Consumer expenditure (urban households) Consumer expenditure as a % of disposable income (urban households) Consumer expenditure (urban households) by tier city 80% , Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 14% 78% 76% 30,000 12% 74% 25,000 10% 72% RMB 20,000 8% 70% 68% 15,000 6% 66% 10,000 4% 64% 62% 5,000 2% 60% % On the other hand, an analysis of the ratio between consumer expenditure and disposable incomes would seem to indicate that people are spending less and less of their pay cheque, with consumer expenditure equating to just 68% of disposable income in 2013 versus closer to 76% in Unsurprisingly, those in first-tier cities spend more of their income, but only marginally. Consumer expenditure in first-tier cities was approximately 27% higher than the average second-tier city in 2013, and almost double that in fifth-tier cities. 14

15 Population Population by tier city Population & 10 yr growth rate by tier city 5.3% 18, Nominal growth 45% 4.1% 12.7% 11.5% ,000 14,000 40% 35% 36.6% 39.3% % 16.5% '000 persons 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 30% 25% 20% 15% 4,000 10% 29.7% 2, % 0% 28.9% -2, % Population in China can be one of the hardest things to understand and it is not just because the numbers are so large. Population can be measured in a number of different ways whether it be registered population (depending upon where your Hukou registration permit is located) or permanent population (where you have resided for the last six months) or floating population (the migrant labour force that stays in a city for less than six months). Then, there is also the categorisation of urban or rural, and the vast geographical areas which prefecture level cities can occupy. The most famous example of this is Chongqing which covers an area of 82,300 sq km, bigger than the province of Ningxia (25,500 sq km) and Hainan (13,100 sq km) and has a permanent population of 29.9 million people of which only 13.4 million are classified as urban. 15

First-tier cities have been one of the biggest beneficiaries of urbanisation over the last two decades. From 2000 to 2010 first-tier city permanent populations grew by 40% on average, versus 19.8% in second tier cities and 14% in third tier cities. Among first-tier cities, Shenzhen recorded the strongest influx, growing 47.8%, while Guangzhou grew by only 27.7%. Among second-tier cities, Xiamen grew by a staggering 72% (admittedly from a low base), followed by Suzhou at 51.3%. 16

17 million people Population (cont.) While the absolute population is important so is the composition of that population. Cities which have a young, skilled migrant labour pool from a diverse background tend to be more dynamic and vibrant. Cities which are experience a net outflow of population are not providing enough of the right jobs to retain talented individuals, who are becoming increasingly mobile in search of better living standards and better job opportunities Permanent population composition, 2012 Hukou population Net Migrants Inflow (outflow) % of Migrants to Permanent residents 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% -10% -20%, ULI 17 * using 2010 Census data for Zhengzhou

Domestic tourism has grown from 744 million in 2000 to 3.6 billion in 2014, while over the same period international tourism has grown from 83.4 million to million, having peaked in 2011 with million person times much of the international tourism accounted for by Hong Kong citizens. Unsurprisingly, Shenzhen is the biggest receiver of foreign tourists because it is close to the border with Hong Kong. Outside the first-tier cities the water towns of Hangzhou and Suzhou make an appearance, with Suzhou attracting a number of Singaporeans as a result of the Suzhou Industrial Park. 18

19 Outbound tourism Aside from the phenomenal growth in domestic tourism there has also been a remarkable surge in outbound tourism. Outbound tourism was 117 million person times in 2014, a CAGR of 19.4% vs domestic CAGR of 14.5%. Most of the outbound tourism is accounted for by Hong Kong (41%) and Macau (26%). Tourism to other parts of the world is still growing and even faster than the overall outbound figures; the CAGR for outbound (excl. HK & Macau) was 23.9% from 13.8 to 33.6 million person times. Countries such as Thailand and Cambodia receive many of these tourists. 4.5% 4.0% 3.5% 3.0% 2.5% 2.0% 1.5% 1.0% 0.5% 0.0% -0.5% Outbound tourism Size of outbound relative to domestic market Domestic YoY Outbound YoY 45% 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% -5%

This is a phenomenal increase from just two decades ago when there were only 5.2 million students, accounting for only 0.4% of the population. Guangzhou is home to the most students followed by Wuhan and Xi an. However, it is important to emphasise that quantity, especially in terms of education, is not the most important factor. Quality is, and on that score Beijing still comes first, as home to 35 of China s top 500 universities, according to the Chinese Universities Alumni Association (CUAA). 20

21 Government finances Local government revenues vs expenditure by city tier, 2013 Local government revenues 30.4% 18.5% 12.4% 18.1% Expenditure 450, , , , Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 45% 40% 35% 30% 19.0% Revenue 25.5% 19.2% RMB million 250, , , ,000 50,000 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0 0% 22.4% 18.9% 15.5% -50,000-5% Roughly 54% (RMB7.6 trillion) of national government revenues were generated at a local level in 2013; local government expenditure however was closer to 12.9 trillion with most of the shortfall made up by central government subsidies. While first-tier cities generated roughly 18.1% (RMB1.06 trillion) of government revenues out of the 287 prefecture level cities, their expenditure accounted for only 12.4% (RMB1.18 trillion) presumably having only received just more than RMB100 billion in subsidies. Fifth-tier cities on the other hand spent RMB1.8 trillion more than they generated in The ability to generate revenues corresponds to levels of business activity. The biggest growth in revenues over the last five years was seen in Wuhan and Xi an, recording a 5 yr CAGR in 2013 of 28.7% and 28.1% respectively. 21

22 Car ownership Private vehicle ownership by city tier Private vehicle ownership 3, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 30% 100 Private vehicles per thousand people YoY growth 50% '000 vehicles 2,500 2,000 1,500 1, % 20% 15% 10% 5% Private vehciles per thousand people % 40% 35% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% % % Private vehicle ownership in China reached 90 vehicles per thousand people in 2014, with a growth of 16.1% YoY and a 5yr CAGR of 19.9%. Car ownership is restricted in key cities such as Shanghai via an auction process or a limited number of licence plates. In mid-2015 licence plates were selling for an average of RMB70-80,000. During heavily polluted days in cities such as Beijing, cars with certain licence plate numbers may be required to stay at home, while vehicles with licence plates from outside certain cities may be restricted from travelling on certain key thoroughfares. 22

23 Doing business in China China is ranked 90 th out of 189 countries for ease of doing business in China ranked surprisingly well on both enforcing contracts and registering property, as well as resolving insolvency.

24 km Infrastructure Metro networks One of the most important factors in determining the success of a city is adequate investment in public utilities and infrastructure. China has invested heavily in the latter, both in terms of intra-city and intercity rail networks. China still has more aggressive plans. By the end of 2013 China had 2,431 km of subway lines; this is expected to grow to 3,617 km in 2015, 7,845 km in 2020 and possibly to as much as 12,080 km by Existing subway length and planned length by city (km) 1, , Source: ULI 24

25 Liveability Liveability means different things to different people. This ranking was provided by the Urban Land Institute (ULI), which surveyed 112 participants. Though it did not stipulate what factors should be considered when thinking about liveability, there was seen to be a strong correlation with air quality. Some of the other factors possibly taken into consideration include: job opportunities, salary levels, green space, walkability, culture, nightlife, housing costs and personal safety.

26 million sq m Purchased land Land sales on the whole have abated quite significantly over the last decade from their peak back in the early 2000s (especially in first-tier cities). In 2014, first-tier cities recorded roughly 3.3 million sq m of land sold. Second-tier cities have also seen land purchases slow in recent years, falling 22.5% YoY in Land area purchased by city tier (35 cities) The decline is a symptom of many factors, including the increasing maturity of leading cities, weaker demand and stronger control of land sales

27 Land prices Land price by city tier (105 cities) Residential land price by city tier (105 cities) 20, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 25% 30, Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 30% 16,000 20% 25,000 25% 20,000 20% RMB per sqm 12,000 8,000 15% 10% RMB per sqm 15,000 15% 10,000 10% 4,000 5% 5,000 5% % % In times of uncertainty, developers and investors tend to focus on what is perceived to be the more mature, stable deep markets in China that means the first-tier cities. Strong demand combined with limited supply has resulted in surging land prices in first-tier cities. Land prices are typically 2-3 times higher in first-tier cities than in second-tier cities; recent land king deals in cities such as Shanghai have reached as much as RMB80,000 per sq m. While these prices are still manageable for smaller developments, they prove more difficult for larger development schemes and many developers have to form joint ventures in order to secure these opportunities. 27

The lower the city tier the faster the growth rate, with fifth tier-cities recording 5yr CAGRs of close to double first-tier cities at 29%. As a percentage of total GDP, investment volumes in first-tier cities have fallen compared to their highs in Real estate investment is now equivalent to 12% of GDP in first-tier cities, while this figure stands at 19% in second-tier cities and 17% in third-tier cities. 28

Cities which have witnessed increased investment of particular note include Ningbo, Dalian and the central cities of Wuhan and Zhengzhou in Henan province which recorded a 5yr CAGR of 27.1% to reach RMB144 billion in Third-tier cities of note include Kunming, Quanzhou, Xining, Fuzhou and Guiyang. 29

30 Residential New starts New residential starts by city tier (35 cities) New residential starts by city Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 30% 40 20% % million sq m million sq m % -10% -20% % % The pace of new starts has been volatile in recent years as developers have gone through periods of tighter credit and slower sales rates influencing their decisions with regard to new starts. In general, however, new starts in firsttier cities have fallen below that of second-tier cities since Most cities recorded a decline in new starts in 2014 while their 5yr CAGR remains positive. Surprisingly, Guangzhou has outperformed its neighbour Shenzhen. Xiamen has recorded the strongest 5yr CAGR growth (17.2%) but was down significantly YoY (-20.5%). Markets such as Qingdao, Hangzhou, Chengdu have also seen a pickup in recent years. 30

31 Residential Under construction Residential under construction by city tier (35 cities) 80 Residential under construction by city million sq m Nominal growth 5yr CAGR % % % million sq m % 5% 0% % % Similar to new starts, second-tier cities lead the pack in terms of residential space under construction having grown at a 5yr CAGR of 11.2% over versus 6.5% for first-tier cities. While Chongqing is the city with most square metres under construction (202.9 million sq m), it is once again Xi an (96.6 million sq m) and Wuhan (73.1 million sq m) which have recorded the strongest growth both on a 5yr CAGR and YoY basis. 31

32 Residential Completed Residential completed by city tier (35 cities) Residential completed by city million sq m Nominal growth 5yr CAGR 100% 40 80% % million sq m % 20% % % % While the volume of space completed in first-tier cities has fallen from its peak in , these cities continue to produce the largest volume of new stock, averaging close to 12 million sq m per year compared to 11 million sq m in second-tier cities. Once again the cities which have recorded the strongest growth 5yr CAGR and YoY are Xi an and Zhengzhou. 32

37 RMB per sq m per month Office market First-tier cities are easily the largest and most expensive office markets in China, mostly because they are regional headquarters and centres of business and finance for MNCs and SOEs. Vacancy rates also tend to be some of the lowest in the country. Second-tier cities by contrast are much smaller markets with weaker demand bases for more expensive leaseonly office projects, as occupiers prefer to buy office space. These markets have seen Grade A office stock grow rapidly in recent years and will continue to see supply pressure force up vacancy rates and suppress rental growth.

38 RMB per sq m per month Retail market Retail markets are harder to generalise about. As with the office market, the more expensive markets tend to be the regional centres where retailers have determined that they require a presence. Most other markets serve their local or immediate surrounding populations and are unable to charge the same rates as those in leading cities. A few markets with substantial supply in recent years have seen vacancy rates balloon. Despite relatively soft market conditions, individual retail centres can outperform the market if they have strong infrastructure links and are able to get the positioning, tenant mix and asset management correct alongside effective promotional campaigns.
