Behind this boring, at first glance, title lies a very interesting exhibition - here you will be able to see where Shanghai's urban planning policy is heading.
However, similar exhibitions exist in many capitals of the world. You cannot call such a place a traditional "museum," since the word itself is associated with antiques. And here, if there are any antique exhibits, they are intended only to show the path of technological progress. Thus, on the lower floors of the museum there are tea houses, cafes and shops styled after Shanghai streets of the 1930s.
And what is Shanghai striving for? It is aiming for the status of the world's main business center! "Catch up with and overtake Hong Kong" - that seems to be the city's unspoken slogan. The main exhibition of the future is Shanghai in 2020. You will be able to see what "floating" transport will look like in the future, for example, a metro operating on magnetic levitation. What is especially interesting is that not only ordinary exhibits are presented here, but interactive ones as well. In short, it will be interesting not only for urbanists, but for all other visitors too.
