The architecture along the Bund is a living museum of the colonial history of the 1800s. You’ve never been to Shanghai if you haven’t seen the Bund. The Bund is a famous waterfront and regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years. It is on the west bank of Huangpu River from the Waibaidu Bridge to Nanpu Bridge and winds 1500 meters in length. The most famous and attractive sight which is at the west side of the Bund are the 26 various buildings of different architectural styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism and the Renaissance. The 1,700 meters long flood-control wall, known as ‘the lovers’ wall’, located on the side of Huangpu River from Huangpu Park to Xinkai River and once was the most romantic corner in Shanghai in the last century. After renovation, the monotone concrete buildings that lovers leaned against in the past have been improved into hollowed-out railings full of romantic atmosphere Standing by the railings, visitors can have a ‘snap-shot’ view of the scenery of Pudong Area and Huangpu River. SHANGHAI -The Bund Located in the eastern bank of Huangpu River, directly across he bund, this new face of modern Shanghai houses a wide variety of highlights of the city including the Expo, the Port of Shanghai, Pudong international airport, Century Park, Zhangjiang Hi Tech Park, Shanghai Disneyland resort and Jiuduansha Wetland Nature Reserve. Pudong has the most interesting business experience in the city and has since become home to new foreign talent, investors and world class innovations. The area where Pudong sits today used to be covered in farms, rice paddies and marshes but is now characterized by office buildings on skyscrapers owned by at least 2000 foreigners amongst which is a General Motors plant producing the renowned Buicks. The number of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers in this area are a shining symbol of Pudong’s new and dazzling progress.

For tourists, it’s more of a hot attraction featuring the sightseeing observatories and the Park Hyatt Hotel. The 88-story Jin Mao Tower was completed in 1999. It is 420.5 meters (almost 1,380 feet) tall and covers an area of 2.3 hectares (5.68 acres). The architect, Adrian D. Smith, of this skyscraper ingeniously combined the elements of tra- ditional Chinese culture with the newest architectural styles of the time, which makes it one of the best-constructed buildings in China.

Location: No. 137, Anren Street, Huangpu District Age: over 400 years Area: 20,000 square meters (about five acres) Highlights: exquisite classical gardening art, rockeries and carvings, Yuyuan Bazaar Best Seasons for Visit: spring and autumn Yu Garden, a well-known classical garden, is located in south Shanghai. Its original master, Mr. Pan, was once a governor in Sichuan during the Ming Dynasty. The garden was constructed in 1558, followed by a pause because of alack of fund and finally completed twenty years later. Pan family underwent a decline afterwards and its offspring anxiously sold out the garden at a very low price to businessman. Later, merged with City God Temple, the Yu Garden became its ‘’Western Garden’’. During the period of the Opium War and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, foreign invaders SHANGHAI repeatedly garrisoned there. Yu Garden, therefore, suffered severe damages and lost some original luster. -Yu Garden After 1949, Yu Garden was been renovated many times. The recent one, in 1987, reconstructed the eastern part. In 1982. Yu Garden was marked as one of the key preservation sites of the State House and the most excellent gardens in the south. It has 40 scenic spots, including pavilions, terraces, towers, ponds and rock series, with over 10 thousand tourists every day. Located on Fangbang Central road, the street starts from Henan South Road in the west and ends in People’s Road in the east. Shanghai Old Street is the best place to see what Shanghai looked like back in the days. The street stretches by 825 meters filled with buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has been part of recent development of the city both in terms of economy and culture with numerous shops, restaurants and popular food spots. The street was formerly an important destination for Shanghai’s foreign trade and small commodity trading and was the first area to realize the city’s great social and economic growth. It is divided into eastern and western sections such that if you start from the west heading to the east you will notice the transition from old dynasty to modern influx. A tour to this old street will overwhelm you with diverse styles, a leisure long corridor and an ancient stage.

  • An Empirical Study on an Elevated Walkway in Shanghai China
    sustainability Article Towards a Climate-Responsive Vertical Pedestrian System: An Empirical Study on an Elevated Walkway in Shanghai China Feng Yang 1,2,*, Feng Qian 1,2 and Wanzhu Zhao 1,2 1 College of Architecture and Urban Planning (CAUP), Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China; [email protected] (F.Q.); [email protected] (W.Z.) 2 Key Laboratory of Ecology and Energy-Saving Study of Dense Habitat, Ministry of Education, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-21-6598-0048 (ext. 105) Academic Editors: Constantinos Cartalis and Matheos Santamouris Received: 12 June 2016; Accepted: 28 July 2016; Published: 4 August 2016 Abstract: Elevated walkways can bring pedestrian-friendly urban space back to high-density urban centers that are planned largely for vehicle traffic—for instance, the Lujiazui CBD in Shanghai. Most studies on elevated walkways have focused on transportation planning, structural safety as well as urban form and design. Few have paid attention to thermal conditions and pedestrian comfort issues on elevated levels. Considering all of the environmental factors that influence human thermal comfort, one could claim that there will be more breezes on elevated levels compared to sidewalks at the ground levels, but they can be exposed to increased solar radiation and thus higher radiant temperatures, if not properly shaded. The overall effect of the change in elevation on human thermal comfort is thus unknown. This study attempts to investigate the microclimate and human thermal comfort of a recently completed Lujiazui Elevated Walkway (LEW) system in the Lujiazui CBD, Shanghai, under a hot-humid sub-tropical climate.

  • Regeneration and Sustainable Development in the Transformation of Shanghai
    Ecosystems and Sustainable Development V 235 Regeneration and sustainable development in the transformation of Shanghai Y. Chen Department of Real estate and Housing, Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology Abstract Globalisation has had an increasing impact on the transformation of Chinese cities ever since China adopted the open door policy in 1978. Many cities in China have been struggling with the challenges of urban regeneration created by the restructuring of the traditional economy and increasing competition between cities for resources, investment and business. The closure of docks, warehouses and industries, and the deteriorating position of traditional urban centres not only created problems but also created exceptional opportunities to reshape cities and create new functions. But this kind of process also generates a series of physical, economic and social consequences for cities to tackle. In many cases the problems exceed the capacity of the local community to adapt and respond. This paper examines a number of urban regeneration projects in Shanghai, in the hope of providing a better understanding of the process of urban regeneration in China and how best to ensure that such regeneration is sustainable. The paper reassesses the aims of regeneration, the mechanisms involved in the regeneration process and its physical, economic and social consequences, discusses how to achieve sustainable development in urban regeneration and makes recommendations for future action. 1 Introduction Global market forces and increasing globalisation are clearly playing a role in the transformation of cities and towns. In most countries urban systems are experiencing dramatic changes brought about by economic restructuring, continuous mass migration and the arrival of immigrants.

Many coastal cities around the world have experienced the harmful consequences of sea level changes and temperature variations. The city of Shanghai in China also suffers from the serious consequences of these two climatic factors. The geological and climatic conditions of Shanghai make it sensitive to flooding risks during heavy rainfall events. This paper analyses the conditions of sea level changes, temperature variations, and heavy rainfall events in Shanghai. Correspondingly, eustatic sea level change, tectonic movement of the continent, and land subsidence in Shanghai have effects on sea level changes. Correlation analysis indicates extraordinary short duration rainfall events have a relationship with temperature variations due to global warming. Moreover, the number of extraordinary torrential rainfall events also has a correlation with sea level changes.

Received: 17 December 2010; in revised form: 17 January 2011 / Accepted: 19 January 2011 / Published: 31 January 2011 Abstract: Through the integrated approach of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques, four Landsat TM/ETM+ imagery acquired during 1979 and 2008 were used to quantitatively characterize the patterns of land use and land cover change (LULC) and urban sprawl in the fast-growing Shanghai Metropolis, China. Results showed that, the urban/built-up area grew on average by 4,242.06 ha yr−1. Bare land grew by 1,594.66 ha yr−1 on average. In contrast, cropland decreased by 3,286.26 ha yr−1 on average, followed by forest and shrub, water, and tidal land, which decreased by 1,331.33 ha yr−1, 903.43 ha yr−1, and 315.72 ha yr−1 on average, respectively. As a result, during 1979 and 2008 approximately 83.83% of the newly urban/built-up land was converted from cropland (67.35%), forest and shrub (9.12%), water (4.80%), and tidal land (2.19%).
