- There is a clear difference between Chinese and Japanese cities, as well as Australian cities. The major Chinese cities are typically fairly small and are growing rapidly, while Japanese and Australian cities are more economically mature and have lower GDP per capita growth rates.
- Population growth - or rather a lack of population growth - is clear evidence that the Asia-Pacific region is slowing and maturing. Every city is expected to experience population growth slowdowns as the region transitions into one of maturity and stable economic growth.
