Features: This book primarily discusses how Shanghai implements the strategy of "rejuvenating the city through science and education" to advance the city's new round of development. With the goal of becoming a new round of development centered around the "Four Major Centers" of international, financial, trade, and shipping, the tasks are considered arduous from a task perspective; urgent from a time perspective; necessary from a development perspective; and highly feasible from a practical operation perspective. At the same time, taking advantage of the 2010 World Expo, Shanghai will further strengthen its central status in transportation, logistics, services, finance, information, innovation, and production. Through interconnected economic and social corridors, the city will further enhance its agglomeration and diffusion functions as an economic hub, as well as expand its service and radiation functions to surrounding provinces and cities. The chapters in this book will drive a fundamental shift in the mindset of the Shanghai people in promoting the new round of development, and will expand and innovate the new connotations and strategies of "rejuvenating the city through science and education," creating a new vision, new horizons, and new perspectives for this initiative.
