"Shanghai's true genius lies in its ability to simultaneously look forward and backward," remarks urban historian Professor Chen Wei. "While building tomorrow's infrastructure, it actively preserves the physical and social fabric that makes it distinctly Shanghainese."
As the city moves toward its 2040 goals, Shanghai continues to redefine what's possible for megacities worldwide, offering a model where economic ambition, environmental responsibility, and cultural authenticity can coexist and mutually reinforce each other.
