Features: Since the 1990s, Shanghai has taken the development of Pudong as a leading role to revitalize its urban economy, accelerate urban construction, and reshape the functions of its central city. Leveraging its geographical advantages, it has achieved the "first-mover effect" and continuously accelerated the process of urban modernization. It has played a significant role in accepting international industrial transfer, driving China's export-oriented economic development, and adjusting industrial structures. It has become one of the most powerful, vibrant, and open cities in China's economic system, with extremely broad prospects for further development. In the process of building Shanghai into an international economic, financial, trade, shipping center and a modern international metropolis, constructing an eco-city is not only an important way for Shanghai to implement sustainable development, implement the scientific outlook on development, and enhance its comprehensive urban competitiveness, but also a criterion for assessing Shanghai's level of modernization, a sign of a city's sense of historical responsibility, and a great cause for which the people of Shanghai strive. The course is set. Exploring and building an eco-city with Shanghai characteristics is the goal of this book.
