Shenzhen is the most sustainable city in the country, thanks to its excellent performance in the economic, social and environmental segments, especially in the innovation area, according to a ranking by global management consultancy McKinsey & Company.
Beijing dropped out of the top 10 because of its unsatisfactory environmental performance and lack of proper use of resources, according to the 2016 Urban Sustainability Index Report.
