Expert Perspectives
Dr. Zhang Wei, Urban Planning Professor at Tongji University:
"Shanghai represents perhaps the most ambitious urban experiment in human history - attempting to simultaneously achieve global financial leadership, technological supremacy, cultural renaissance, and social harmony within one generation."
From the reconstructed shikumen lanes of Xintiandi to the quantum computing labs in Pudong, from the traditional breakfast stalls of Yuyuan to the vertical farms in Minhang, Shanghai continues to write its extraordinary story - a living blueprint for how cities might evolve in our complex century.
