A vision of Shanghai’s bright, shining future

SHANGHAI plans to become “an excellent global city” by 2035, with a vision to become the core city in the Yangtze River Delta urban cluster — an international economic, financial, trade and shipping center, a technology and innovation hub as well as an international cultural metropolis.

This vision is outlined in “Shanghai 2035” displayed on the third floor of the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center, featuring details of the master plan.

The exhibition, in English and Chinese, explains the blueprint with charts, photos and multimedia installations. In one of the sections, there is a spread of 81 photos taken and collected by Shanghai residents about their visions for the city’s future.

Many urban development practices in other global cities are also listed to show how Shanghai could achieve its goal to become an “excellent global city” by 2035 — the main target set by the city government in the blueprint.

Visitors can give their own opinions in surveys and quizzes on the master plan, which will be taken into consideration by the city’s top planning body, according to the center.

The previous five major master plans for Shanghai are also on show along with the latest blueprint, including the “Greater Shanghai Plans” in 1928 and 1946, the city’s earliest modern urban plans, as well as the two general plans made in 1959 and 1986.

Shanghai Daily has also made a short cartoon video to elaborate on some of the main aspects of the new master plan. Check www.shine.cn/news/metro/1802281012/ to learn about the basics of the plan.
