Very different future for silo with a big past
Print Edition
SHANGHAI’S top planning body will open an exhibition at an old grain silo in the Pudong New Area in September, officials said yesterday.
The 50-meter-tall silo, built by a British shipping firm in 1908, was once the largest in Asia and stored most of the city’s grain in its heyday.
The silo will become the main venue for the three-month Shanghai Urban Space Art Season, opening in late September, the city’s planning, land and resources administration said.
Exhibitions will focus on global urban planning practices and public space development. One focus will be about the city government’s project to open a total of 45 kilometers of uninterrupted pedestrian paths — half of them in Puxi and half in Pudong — between Yangpu and Xupu bridges by the end of the year.
The surrounding area by the silo, including Minsheng Wharf near Minsheng Road, will be included in the exhibitions, the administration said.
The British shipping company Blue Funnel Line built the silo and warehouses, making the wharf the most advanced facility of its kind in the Far East.
