China has experienced rapid economic growth averaging nearly 10% annually since economic reforms began in 1978. This growth has been driven by urbanization as hundreds of millions of people move to cities. Chinese cities must plan innovatively and sustainably to accommodate large population increases while improving livability. Shanghai exemplifies this transition as services now account for over half of its GDP compared to just 15% in 1978, demonstrating a shift from manufacturing to a more advanced, service-based economy.

Developing a Native Advertising ProductJack Krawczyk
Much (heated) debate has been placed recently on whether native ads that walk, act and quack like editorial content are misleading and bad for consumers. The philosophical debate is the wrong one; the focus should rather be on what is driving the disruption in the “traditional” interruptive ad format. Taking a look into the causes of this turbulence reflects the current zeitgeist and how a successful native ad product can come to life.

Between 1892 and 1997, a total of 2.1 million people were deported from the United States. A change in laws in 1996 permitted the number of deportees to increase from 70,000 in 1996 to 114,000 in 1997. In 1998, the number of deportees rose to 173,000. The numbers stayed fairly steady until 2003, when the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) infused more money into immigration law enforcement and 211,000 people were deported. From there the numbers have continued to rise – peaking at just over 400,000 in 2012. These numbers are unprecedented: by 2014 President Obama will have deported over 2 million people - more in six years than all people deported before 1997. However, there is more to this trend than these numbers. The content of policies has also changed. There have been relatively low numbers of returns as compared to removals, a reflection of a focus on interior enforcement. There has been a shift towards the deportation of convicted criminals. With these trends, unprecedented numbers of people have been separated from their families in the United States. Obama has not only deported more people than any President; he also has separated more families by focusing on interior enforcement.

Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szet...Volition Properties
=== Investing In The US As A Canadian… And How To Do It RIGHT!! (feat. Erwin Szeto) ===
Ever been curious about Real Estate Investing in the US?? At Volition, for the past 14 years, we have been focused on helping investors invest in over $250M of real estate and generate $100M of wealth in the Toronto market, but we are always open to learning more about other business models and learning from other investors.
The US has always been an intriguing market to invest in. But the US is a big place… if you’re interested in investing in the US, you probably have a lot of questions, like:
☑️ Specifically WHERE should you invest?
☑️ What are the best markets to invest in and why?
☑️ How much are property prices there?
☑️ What are the returns like?
☑️ What is cashflow like?
☑️ Compared to investing in Toronto or other cities in Ontario, what are the benefits / tradeoffs?
☑️ What ownership structure should I use?
☑️ What are the tax implications?
☑️ Can I get financing?
☑️ What are tenants like?
Enter Erwin Szeto, a longtime friend of Volition. Since 2005, Erwin Szeto and his team have navigated the challenging landscape of being landlords in Ontario. Now, they are shifting their focus and guiding their clients' investments toward the more landlord-friendly environment of the USA. This decision comes after assisting Canadian clients in transacting over $440,000,000 in income properties. Faced with issues like affordability constraints, tenant-friendly laws, rent control, and rental licensing in Canada, Erwin sees a clear opportunity in the U.S. Here, there is a significant influx of investments leading to the creation of high-paying manufacturing jobs. Erwin and his clients are poised to capitalize on these opportunities where landlord rights are stronger and there is no rent control.
To facilitate this transition, Erwin has partnered with and become a client of SHARE, a one-stop-shop U.S. Asset Manager. Founded by Canadians for Canadians, SHARE enables as passive an ownership experience as possible for landlords in the U.S., while still maintaining direct, 100% ownership.

2020
– To provide sustainable economic growth momentum

4. Green and Innovative Economic Growth
• Emphasis on environmental quality and green GDP
– Harder for polluted cities to attract investors and creative class in
higher-value sectors

– Clean tech can be a new growth engine, and China has
opportunity to leapfrog to the front of this emerging sector
• GDP growth will be increasingly based on innovation and productivity
gains

economic activities

• Lessons from urban trajectories of developed countries
– Interesting natural surroundings, pleasant climates or quality
urban landscapes are in high demand
– Preservation of heritage buildings to revitalize historic sites and
neighbourhoods
– Rapid rise of middle class creates a market for high-quality
developments that offer a wide range of services, adopt leading
edge design and embody local culture
5
6. Urban Planning Best Practices – Diversity and
Adaptability
• Cities follow diverse urbanization paths
– Facilities to nurture competitive industrial clusters (Chongqing,
Wuhan, Foshan, Dalian)
– Amenities to support activities of high-end business and
professional service centres (Beijing, Shanghai)
– Balance between natural and built environments (Hangzhou,
Kunming, Xiamen, Qingdao)
• Technological change and modern lifestyles mean urban planning
needs to be highly adaptable
– Adopt best planning practices
– Undertake comprehensive impact assessment
– Joint public-private evaluation of each proposed development
project according to its expected contribution
