"Shanghai has achieved what urban planners call 'the impossible harmony'," remarks Dr. Chen Wei of the Global Cities Institute. "It simultaneously operates as a financial supercomputer while maintaining the soul of 1930s jazz-age Shanghai. The city's secret lies in treating technology as cultural expression rather than disruption."
As Shanghai prepares to host the 2026 World Urban Innovation Summit, its model of "humanized futurism" continues attracting global attention, proving that megacities can evolve without losing their historical essence.
