With over 20
million people in its extended metropolitan area, Shanghai is China’s most
populated city. With an area of nearly 5,300 km² (2,046 sq mi), it is also one
of the world’s largest urban areas – and it’s growing fast.
On the third floor
of the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum, there is what probably is the world’s
largest scale model of a city. The room-sized model of central Shanghai in
2020, as envisioned by the urban planners, fills an area larger than 100 square
meters.
