Look new, what happen to the old railway station?

The south railway station (see my previous comment) is a big round station, only for south-bound slow trains.
It is still very busy, it also serves Shanghai-Jinshan bullet train service (see my previous comment) and many suburban buses and a huge long-distance bus station.
Served by line 1 & 3.

Shanghai Railway Station is busy as usually.
It serves Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity HSR (half services in Hongqiao) and many long-distance slow trains for example Shanghai-Lhasa train.
If you go the subway station beneath, you will know how busy it is...........
(line 1, 3, 4)
It is the first choice for people who live in downtown to travel to Suzhou/Nanjing/Wuxi/Changzhou.

Same as the south station, it has a big long-distance coach station attached, and the terminal for many public buses.

Only 7km from CBD, subway 15 minutes

I want to visit this beauty.

Welcome to China!
visit cities, ancient towns, gobi desert, glacier, grassland, mountains, and all!

Within few years the China would get a developed country tag.
While India would remain in limbo.

No that fast....
Upper income is just a few years away, but that does not mean developed.

This is the right term in Chinese, moderately developed by 2050(1949-2049).
The recent goal is a moderately prosperous society by 2021.

Nearly every city and province has come up with their individual master plan for 2050.
All efforts in the next 2-3 decades are for 2049-2050!

China’s vision for the next 30 years

Every five years, the Communist Party of China (CPC) convenes a National Congress, where two key decisions are made: who will lead China for the next five years, and what path to development those leaders will follow. The CPC’s recently completed 19th National Congress did all that and more.

Beyond choosing the next politburo standing committee, the 19th party congress re-elected President Xi Jinping as the CPC’s leader and added his eponymous ideology—“Xi Jinping Thought”—to the party’s charter. The congress also produced a blueprint for the country’s future development until 2050, one that reflects the changes that economic reform and opening have brought to China.

In his address to the 19th party congress, Xi declared that, because China can largely deliver basic necessities to its people, the goal now should be to improve their quality of life. With that in mind, the 19th congress charted a new road map, based on the “two centennial goals” inherited from the 18th congress. The first centennial goal is to build a “moderately prosperous society” (xiao-kang) by 2021, the 100th anniversary of the CPC’s founding. The key here is to ensure broad prosperity, with poverty all but eliminated.

The second centennial goal is to transform China into a “fully developed and advanced nation” by 2049, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic. The vision, confirmed at the congress, is for China to be a prosperous, civilized, harmonious, and modern socialist society, boasting strong governance. Such a China would be a leading global power, ranking high among the advanced economies.

City set for global excellence by 2040

THE Shanghai government is soliciting public opinion on a master plan for 2040 which aims to develop an “excellent global city.”

Urban development blueprints covering population, the environment, transport and public services are on display at the Shanghai Urban Planning and Exhibition Center until September 21.

“By 2040, Shanghai aims to become an excellent global city, an international economic, finance, trade, shipping and scientific innovation center, as well as a cultural metropolis,” said Zhuang Shaoqin, director of the city’s planning, land and resources administration. In short, he added, it will become an “innovative, humanistic and eco-friendly city.”

To achieve these goals, the city will take measures to better control construction and population growth, as well as protect the environment and improve urban safety, he said.

According to the plan, the city’s population will be limited to 25 million by 2040, the same target as set for 2020.

Shanghai had 24.3 million residents at the end of 2014.

The total land area allocated for construction will be limited to 3,200 square kilometers, 26 percent of which will be residential, according to the plan. The city’s construction land area reached 3,124 square kilometers in 2014, meaning 46 percent of the land area has been developed, exceeding the figures for New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Forests and parks will occupy the rest of the city’s land to make it ecologically friendly. Forest coverage will reach 25 percent, and each resident will have 15 square meters of public parks or green land on average by 2040, according to the plan. The city’s current per capita public green space is about 7 square meters.

Average density of PM2.5 — hazardous fine particle air pollution — will be reduced to about 20 micrograms per cubic meter, compared with last year’s 53 micrograms.

To cut average commuting times to under 40 minutes by 2040, the city plans to add about 1,000 kilometers to the subway network, 1,000 kilometers to the intercity railway network and another 1,000 kilometers of tram lines.

More than half of downtown residents will rely on public transport by then, said Xu Yisong, deputy director of the bureau, and over 60 percent of residents will have a subway station within 600 meters of where they live.

There will be 10 art galleries, two museums and five libraries for every 100,000 residents and sports lovers will also benefit from at least five new professional football fields, as well as more gymnasiums and training centers.

More international communities for expats and apartments to accommodate professionals will be built to attract talent from around the world.

The plan, in Chinese only, can be seen at supdri.com/2040 and people can e-mail suggestions to ilovesh2040@126.com by September 21.

Shanghai has PARKS!
Like all Chinese big cities, downtown Shanghai is full of parks, big and small, everywhere.
Though not as good as cities like Kunming, Nanning, Shenzhen, Dalian, Xiamen,
Shanghai's parks are better than most 10+million-population cities abroad.

During the rapid development and urbanisation, old parks remain and are renovated, new parks are designed.
They are lively from the very early morning.
At night, parks are more lively than in the daytime....Here comes the Aunties.....

Shanghai may look like a jungle of buildings from afar, but when you walk inside the city, you will never feel really pressed by the modernity.
Parks, commercial buildings, apartments, are organically integrated.

OMG, pls don't get stuck into PPP too much....

That is some great landscaping and planning

Shanghai is turning into, in terms of public administration, a Singapore, but on a much larger scale.

Whatever terms you apply to China, one term that does not apply is “superpower”. Just look into Facebook and there are no China superpower page. China seek prosperity instead is Supa Powa status...

Unlike Supa Powa 2012.....

Standard urbanisation across China
Ideas largely come from traditional Chinese gardens and parks, emphasising harmony and Confucius/Daoist values.

Jinan City, you must have never heard of!

Shanghai and other first tier cities are not developed yet or finished development in the eyes of planners and strategists, it will be in the phase of development for many more decades.

Those that understand the vision and depth of the issue will understand why Chinese find certain developing countries touting they will become a developed nation in 10-30 years very comical. Perhaps there a difference in definition of "developed" but your standards determine your potential. Some countries may be complacent with Shanghai or China's over all development but Chinese are not.

China's development outline
2013-2016: Mobilization of society, raise public awareness of initiative, coordinate and restructure national resources to prepare for development
2016: Begin planning of national rejuvenation/development
2020: End extreme poverty, GDP reach $10,000, establish joint military command, military motorization complete
2021: Moderately well-off/prosperous 小康社会, finish basic planning of national rejuvenation and begin development (Begin primary development phase)
2025: Raise critical industrial components to 70% made in China. (Primary development phase)
2030: Complete urbanization at 70% urbanized (Primary development phase)
2035: Basically modernized, industrial base is complete and modern, world leader in science, technology, economy, and business, military fully modernized (Primary development phase)
2049: Ends primary development and becomes moderately developed, enters top 40 developed nations, world leading military, realise national rejuvenation (Begins moderate development phase)
2080: Becomes a developed country
2100: Top 10 developed nations

China is not developed and has only solved basic needs of its people. What is considered development in the grand vision hasn't started. Only a few major projects are initiated or revealed, and only started its planning. China knows its backwards and far from success. What China is doing, including very inefficient activities is to build up/prepare the society's functions for the century long development drive. There are critics saying OBOR is failing due to X,Y,Z but the development hasn't started. Testing is just beginning, issues in testing is normal, the real project will take 1-2 centuries to complete. Have dreams but be patient and realistic.
