After eight years, Macro Polo has ceased operations as the Paulson Institute will focus its independent research on supporting its programs as it continues to diversify its scope.

We appreciate the community that has grown around Macro Polo and the fruitful engagement we’ve had with our legion of smart and sharp audience. You’ve pushed us to deliver even more original work and innovative products. Our body of work speaks for itself, and we hope it will have a long shelf life – that was the intent from MP’s inception.

MP’s website is now archived and no new work will be published henceforth on this site. Please visit www.paulsoninstitute.org for future research and policy work on a range of global issues.

Thank you all for the support over the years, it has been a privilege to have had a home at the Paulson Institute and to have built it the way we did.

Your City Match: Guiyang


Guiyang

  Population: 4.8 million

  Average Wage: $11,021/year

  Air Quality Index: 55 (Moderate)

  Migrant Percentage: 36.8%

The provincial capital of Guizhou, Guiyang is the economic and commercial hub in southwest China. The local economy is largely built on retail and wholesale industries, though Guiyang’s recent incentive programs for computing and data centers have attracted major corporations, such as Foxconn, Microsoft, Huawei, and Alibaba, to invest in the city. The city also relies extensively on hydro power, which supplies over 70% of its electricity.

Guiyang’s cuisine stands out for its flavorful spicy dishes as well as desserts such as gaoba porridge. Visitors may want to visit the Jiaxiu Pavillion (Guiyang’s emblem and symbol), Qingyan Ancient Town, and the Confucian Center. For young migrants in the city, the night life scene is concentrated on Qianling East Road, where many bars and pubs are located.
