Among these literatures, the issue of global city has dominated the prime discussion. Its discussion focuses on the demand utilities of externality. This paper tries to argue with the literature of global city by adopting the opposite perspective of supply side to explain the change of urban space. It clearly points out the process of clustering in the new city center is mainly driven by the mechanism of real-estate. Therefore, this article focuses on the commercial property market which houses the clustering financial services and producer services as research object. This part of discussion is comparatively weak in urban geography, yet the traditional commercial property research is inevitably restricted to quantitative research as well as locational choices. This research adopts qualitative research in hope of not only having dialogue with the theory of global city, but also contribute to policy-making and relative researches via empirical efforts. This research adopts the qualitative research method. Together with second-hand data, field observation, and in-depth interviews form the research framework of this paper. This paper firstly delivers its problematique and argumentation after literature review and field observation. It then gives the hypothesis that the process of clustering in the new city center is mainly driven by the mechanism of real-estate. To rid of other possible factors, especially of the impact of demand-driven factors, this research starts with interview, and then further analyzes both the supply and the demand commercial properties within Xinyi District to justify its hypothesis.
