  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Beijing City Lab. Working paper #61 Location does not matter in the informational age? – a case study on the distribution of restaurants listed in ‘dazhongdianping’ in Beijing SHENG Qiang 1 LI Miaoyi2 ZHANG Xingyi3 1 School of Architecture and Design, Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing100044, China, E-mail: [email protected] 2 School of Environmental Design of Japan Kanazawa University, Kanazawa920-1192, Japan., E-mail: [email protected] 3 School of Architecture, Tianjin University, China 300072, E-mail: [email protected] This paper has been published by the 11th International Symposium on Environment‐Behavior Research. ABSTRACT: This paper analyzes the relationship between the spatial parameters calculated by space syntax and the data from dazhongdianping Beijing, a popular website for choosing and reviewing restaurants by Chinese people. The result suggests that the use of informational technology is strengthening the spatial distribution logic of these restaurants instead of weakening the role of physical urban space. Furthermore, this paper focuses on the actual uses of shopping and catering spaces in the Wangfujing area and three major shopping malls. This study explores the potential and limitation of “big data” from Dazhongdianping in customer behavior research. It also illustrates the spatial logic for the distribution and use of catering spaces in architecture scale. Key words：Big data, restaurant, Dazhongdianping, Space syntax. 1 Introduction Recent development in the informational technologies has great impact on people’s everyday life in big cities.
