It was jointly hosted by Top Tier, Shanghai Urban Design Alliance, and Chuangxinhui Corporate Alliance to share inspiring solutions and case studies and seek possible solutions that would suit Shanghai’s needs and development.
With keynote and guest speakers from a range of sectors, the forum attracted both scholars and representatives from the city’s urban planning authority, foreign governmental authorities and domestic companies.
“Urban development no longer lies in the traditional method of expansion. We now focus on upgrading by bringing art and culture into the city’s development, which will then become part of the city’s character,” said Jin Jianhong, deputy director of the Culture Development Bureau and Publicity Department of Xuhui District.
Shi Song shared the “Shanghai Master Plan 2040” regarding culture and art in urban development. He is the director of the research department at the Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Research Institute and Shanghai Urban Design Alliance.
