Shanghai

While striving to become the new economic power house of China and the East Asian region, Shanghai is undergoing a profound restructuring of its infra structure and, more importantly, its physical form and appearance. Urban re vival will in part rely on the successful redevelopment of the old central city where dilapidated housing and fragmented industrial use are no longer tolerable. Shanghai's revival also is dependent on the effective developmen t of the Pudong New Area and several other new urban districts, which will facilitate the growth of industrial activities and the expansion of the ter tiary sector.
