Shanghai Urban Planning

Review

"A city's development depends on good planning to a great extent. The special status of Shanghai - the economic, trade, financial, and cultural center of modern China - has been defined and established by its urban planning of different historical periods. Taking the various versions of Shanghai's city planning formulated during different historical periods as the main thread, this book presents a general survey of Shanghai, covering its modern history, the evolution of its city planning, its latest master plan, the planning of key areas, and its urban planning administration systems and procedures. It is a mustread for all who want to get a whole picture of Shanghai's urban development." --Wu Liangyong, Professor of Architecture, Tsinghua University, the People's Republic of China"This is the first book that offers Western readers a comprehensive introduction about Shanghai's urban planning. With rich pictures, maps, and drawings, the book presents a straightforward account of Shanghai's history and its various versions of city planning at different stages of its development, focusing on the city's latest master plan, short - and mid-term development schemes, and its planning administrative structure and procedures. It is definitely a very helpful book for readers who are keen to know more about Shanghai." --Xia Liqing, Former Chief of Shanghai Urban Planning Administration Bureau
