Three Indian cities are amongst the world's fastest-growing cities, says a Forbes report.
Most of the 'fastest-growing' in the world are predominantly in the Asian continent. As would be expected, as many as four Chinese cities find a place in the Forbes list.Chengdu, China
Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, is booming with economic activity, with China spending huge amounts of money on infrastructure development, setting up improved transportation and communications links, etc.
The city is China's base for information technology and electronics firms and is home to hundreds of multinational giants.
Chongqing, ChinaChongqing is China's third largest centre of motor vehicle production and the largest for motorcycles says Wikipedia.
It houses hundreds of foreign companies, making it a giant industrial centre in China. New jobs, fresh infusion of funds into developmental activities, and the pouring in of foreign investment have seen Chongqing grow at twice the rate at which China as a nation is growing.
That should give an indication to the speed at which this Chinese megacity is growing.
Ahmedabad, India
