As urban theorist Dr. Chen Wei from Tongji University notes: "Shanghai represents the ultimate urban laboratory - where East meets West, history converses with futurism, and socialist planning dances with capitalist dynamism. Its evolution offers profound lessons for cities worldwide."
From the AI-managed farms on Chongming Island to the quantum computing labs in Zhangjiang, Shanghai continues its century-old tradition of reinvention - now at planetary scale and digital speed.
