Features: In the era of economic globalization, the urban system is transforming from a horizontal structure to a vertical one. Large cities, especially megacities, are at the top of the vertical urban system structure, serving as global and regional economic centers and management control centers, requiring a comprehensive development of financial services and production functions. Meanwhile, old industrial zones located in the central urban areas often severely constrain the comprehensive functions and development of large cities. This book takes the transformation of the old industrial zone in Yangpu District, Shanghai, as an example to study the issue of industrial land renewal and adjustment in old industrial zones of large cities, promoting the transformation of Yangpu District in Shanghai from "Industrial Yangpu" to "Knowledge Yangpu."
