Evidence snapshot for Wuhan
Wuhan's One-Million-Graduate Retention Plan shows the city successfully retained graduates through hukou reform and subsidised housing priced roughly 25% below market rate, with 345,200 graduates staying in 2021 and an average of roughly 300,000 new arrivals annually over the following decade. Wuhan's Sponge City Programme demonstrates large-scale urban water-retention infrastructure, with 389 projects across 38.5 km² built by 2020 and estimated savings of over CNY 4 billion compared to conventional drainage upgrades. However, the talent-retention policies also drove up local housing prices according to a peer-reviewed 70-city study, and the sponge-city programme's carbon-sequestration and cooling figures come from one showcase site rather than independent audits of all projects.
