Abstract

City promotion and branding have become increasingly popular in the past two decades or so. Chinese cities fully share in this trend. They have stepped up their use of a great variety of attractive city labels, such as eco-cities, low carbon cities, smart cities, knowledge cities and resilient cities to enhance their attractiveness to the outside world. These concepts reflect a desired shift from old and polluting manufacturing industries to new and clean service industries. But not all branding efforts are credible or successful; there are specific requirements for actually realizing the proclaimed industrial shift. This chapter aims to answer two questions: (1) What do city branding practices look like in a number of significant Chinese cities? (2) What is the credibility of these practices in terms of the proclaimed industrial transformation?
