The Shanghai skyline tells a story of relentless ambition. Where fishing villages once stood along the Huangpu River, the world's most dramatic urban experiment now unfolds daily. The city has added more skyscrapers in the past decade than all of Australia combined, creating what urban theorists call "the first true 21st century metropolis."

3) Climate-Conscious Design: The new Lingang district serves as a testbed for sponge city technologies that could revolutionize flood prevention
