Shanghai: The City of The Future

New York, go to bed - this is the city that never sleeps.

Shanghai’s registered population in 2009 was 19.2 million. By 2030 it will have an estimated 31 million permanent residents. Shanghai has the 3^rd and 10^th tallest buildings in the world and will also have the second tallest in 2014. 12 buildings over 200 meters are under construction/in planning. Also, both a Disneyland and a Universal Studios are under construction in Shanghai.

Although Tokyo, London and New York will retain their positions as important global cities, there is little doubt that in the coming decades, the brightest spotlights will be on Shanghai.
