He once wrote the city of “The setting of Nanjing is wonderful. Mountains, lakes and plains are all around here,” as his mausoleum lies in Nanjing. However, the historical and contemporary significant has made the city more than greatness.

Lying in the lower Yangzte River basin and the Yangzte River Delta economic zone, Nanjing was the capital of China over six ancient dynasties and serves as the capital of Jiangsu Province today. It is still playing its historical role as a centre of education, research, transportation, and tourism. Besides, its setting at the intersection of the Yangzte River with many traditional overland transportation routes has flagged it as a key point between the east-west waterways and the north-south road and railway networks.

Scaling over a total of 6,598 square kilometers with 7.4 million permanent residents, of which 75% now are classed as urban dwellers, Nanjing is the second largest commercial center in Easter China after Shanghai. A great amount of investments in recent years in its economy, commerce, industry and infrastructure has increased the city’s GDP to $6,000 per head of population, together with technical competence and resource, Nanjing has topped first 10 among all mainland cities.

Recently, Nanjing has been named as “one of the most promising cities in the Asia-Pacific” and “one of the top three commercial cities in the Chinese mainland” by Forbes, the authoritative US business magazine.

Geographical advantage
As the most important transportation hub in eastern China and the downstream Yangzte River area, Nanjing’s advanced transport network offers a vital link between land, air and waterway services.

Nanjing Lukou International Airport, one the 10 largest airport in China, has a great number of regular passengers and cargo flights to international destinations, such as London, Ftankfurt, Amsterdam, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Chicago, Moscow, Tokyo, Singapore and Seoul.

The city’s harbor is the largest inland harbor in Asia and services some 200 ports in 80 different countries and regions.

A historic and cultural city
Nanjing city was established 2,500 years ago, but the ealiest civilizations in the Nanjing area can be traced back to 6,000 years. Nanjing has served as the national capital of more than 10 dynasties and regimes during its long history. This role was ended by the day of the foundation of the Republic of China when Beijing was appointed as the capital. The long history has left the city with countless antique artifacts and cultural treasures.

Climate and environment
Nanjing put forward an “urban green space” policy in 2003 and till now, nearly half of the tree-planting initiative has been completed. The green area of this city has increased to 12 square meters per head of population.

Recognized as “The National Park of the Year”, “The National Urban Hygiene Awards” and as a model city by both the National Environmental Protection agency and the National Afforestation agency, Nanjing is widely honored for its eco-friendly progress in its sustainable development.

Due to its low crime rate and high reputation for public security, Nanjing is one of the cities national wide with high living standard.

Speaking the climate, Nanjing falls within the northern subtropical monsoon climate zone and enjoys four seasons with plentiful sunshine and rains. The average temperature is 17.8C and the annual amount of rainfall is 1,034 mm.

The spokesman for the Nanjing real estate administrative bureau, Huang Chang’an, said that the low-rent housing system will get an additional 1.08 billion yuan and that 6 million sq m of affordable apartments will be built before the end of 2010.

The measures were announced after Nanjing won the top UN Habitat award at the ongoing World Urban Forum in the city. It is expected to renovate the Qinhuai River and settlements along it.

Huang said that although the real estate market is influenced by the impact of the global financial crisis, the government will try their best to ensure the investment in building affordable housing and renovation old and poor residential areas not falling.

Since 2002, Nanjing has promised to renovate the Qinhuai River, a waterway of enchanting scenery and great cultural heritage but seriously polluted by factories and squatter settlements since the 1980s, he added.

It has cost billions for the local government to do much with the river’s cleaning, many families’ and factories’ relocation to return a pleasant living environment. Nanjing is really a good place to settle down to live and to do business. That’s why a lot of companies choose Nanjing to be their head office. BPOVIA is one of them. And the fact has proved the choice is right.

Base on the talk of Qi Ji, vice-minister of construction, the government had renovated about 50 million sq m of squatter settlements and improved living conditions for nearly 1 million families in the past few years.

Anna Tibaijuka, vice-secretary of the UN, also the executive director with the UN Habitat, said that as large rural populations have migrated to increasingly crowded cities seeking for better living conditions, squatter settlements have become a worldwide problem. China is “doing rather well in tackling the slum problem” by introducing many effective policies such as the provision of affordable housing and giving people housing subsidies, she said.

She added that leadership and policies play a very important role in ensuring equality, so it is wrong to rely on market forces completely.

Covering about one-tenth of Nanjing, Gulou accounts for nearly one-third of the city revenues, ranking first among the six urban districts. According to Bao Yongan, district Party secretary, one of the most important reason for its high revenues is they have focused on developing the headquarter economy, which also boosts development of the modern services industry in the city—an important strategy to optimize their industrial structure. They seized the opportunity in recent years when big domestic and international companies moved their headquarters into secondary country. “Through our efforts, a large number of companies set up their regional headquarters, research and development (R&D) centres and sales operations in Gulou district,” Bao said, “the arrival of these headquarters has generated demand for modern services—a win-win situation.”

Bao said one of the most important advantages for Gulou is its vast group of talents. There are 20 universities, more than 70 different research institutes and over 100,000 professional technicians in this district; more than one-third of the residents have a college-level education. These are the advantages Gulou can use to attract company headquarters. Furthermore, Hulou is placing its priority on the development of hi-tech, modern services and cultural industries.

Four industrial categories are taking shape in Gulou—headquarters finance, business and commerce, R&D and culture-related enterprises. To accommodate the trend of these developments, Gulou has teamed with Lishui County in Nanjing’s suburbs to establish an industrial base, which will help to absorb some production operations of companies not suitable for the city center, said Bao.

While attracting international company headquarters, Gulou did not forget the local enterprises. “We offer support and encouragement in policies, land use and service to local companies,” said Xu Suning, head of Gulou district. Such provincial pillar companies as home appliances asles giant Suning, major salt producer Jiangsu Salt and the Jiangsu provincial publishing house have created a “brand effect” for local companies.

Nowadays, more than 40 multinationals including Siemens, Lucent, Emerson and Panasonic have headquarters in Gulou. In financial services, AIA, Standard Chartered Group and Standard Life, including KPMG China have a presence in Gulou. To facilitate the arrival of these headquarters, Gulou offers “one-stop” services. Last year, the revenues of headquarter operations reached up to 1.92 billion yuan, which is almost three times as much as the number in 2004.

With the rapid growth of company headquarters, Gulou’s industrial mix is also changing gradually, Xu said.

Forbes China short-listed 194 mainland cities from a pool of 652 candidates with an annual GDP above 19 billion yuan in 2006.

10 of the top 42 cities are from Jiangsu province, nine are from Zhejiang and seven are from Guangdong.

The Yangtze River Delta region was represented by Shanghai and another 23 cities from Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui. The Forbes list was based on each city’s climate for business start-ups and private capital, which is why Hangzhou beat Shanghai for the top placing.

As the capital city of Jiangsu province, although the GDP created by private companies in Nanjing is not so much as Hangzhou, it is also an essential place in Yangtze River Delta. Private companies contribute a lot for this city’s GDP every year, and get lots of benefits as well. BPOVIA is a representative of those private companies in Nanjing. The CEO of BPOVIA James Huang once said, “doing business in Nanjing is definitely a right choice.”

It is believed that Nanjing will climb higher to the top three in the list in two to three years.
