Singapore, Jun 01: Asia will be one of the best places to be an urban dweller with China and India ranked among the top hotspots, property consultancy Jones Lang Lasalle said in a study Saturday.
The firm looked at key indicators in 500 cities worldwide and turned up a list of 24 dubbed the ''future rising urban stars,'' with 11 in Asia.
China topped the list with eight cities including Beijing, Chongqing, Dalian, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Suzhou and Xian. India's Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi were also mentioned.
The research team identified technology, the environment and the economy as three aspects that will define urban life.
There is more to a good city ''than just the economic angle,'' Yu Lai Boon, JLL's regional research head for the Asia-Pacific, told reporters.



The study is aimed at helping people and companies decide where to live or place their money, Yu said.
