The Shanghai Model
Key lessons for global cities:
→ Balanced development between global and regional roles
→ Technological adoption without cultural erosion
→ Private sector participation in public infrastructure
→ Multi-level governance coordination mechanisms
As Shanghai prepares to celebrate its 2050 urban vision, the city continues to demonstrate how global ambitions can coexist with regional responsibilities - creating what urban scholars now call "the most complete prototype of 21st century metropolitan governance."
