Visitors to the Metro museum look at an interactive map of the city’s subway network. — Yang Yi
SHANGHAI will have 21 subway lines by 2030, including one that will connect Chongming Island to the Pudong New Area, according to a blueprint on show at the new Shanghai Metro Museum.
There are currently 14 Metro lines and one maglev line in operation in the city, which have a combined 567 kilometers of track and 333 stations.
According to the Metro operator, the western section of subway Line 12, the downtown section of Line 13 and third phase of Line 9 are all now under construction.
Preparatory work for lines 14, 15, 17 and 18 is ongoing, all of which will be ready by about 2020. Their opening will extend the city’s subway network to 800 kilometers.
According to the blueprint, Line 19 will start from Rongqiao Road in Pudong, travel under the Yangtze River and onward to Hengsha and Changxing islands, and the Dongtan Resort on Chongming.
Line 20 will run from Xinzhuang station in Minhang District to Gongqing Forest Park, while Line 21 will run from Longwu Road in Xuhui District to Hongkou Football Stadium and provide an interchange to lines 11 and 15.
A new Disney Line will link with Guanglan Road station on line 2 and Zhangjiang Road on Line 13. It should open next year.
Shanghai no way needs to be a second New York in terms of urban arrangement. It has long been the city on its own. And it is beautiful.Shanghai has TO MUCH green space. This is an religious ideology who destroyed the urban city feeling. TO MUCH new Buildings in Shanghai have a lawn on the street. This looks horrible. Shanghai needs narrow streets with retail stores, not ideological town planning. Shanghai should be like New York. New York must be the model for shanghai.
By the way, in austria, sometimes they build also lawns at the streets in front of buildings and it doesn´t looks good. There is no expression of creativity.
Shanghai needs New European Urbanism.
Pudong-Puxi tunnel link to close for year
25 November 2014
Shanghai Daily Excerpt
![]()
THE Yan’an Road E. Tunnel from the Pudong New Area crossing under the Huangpu River to Puxi is closing early next year for renovations set to last a year.
But traffic using the tunnel to travel in the opposite direction — from Puxi to Pudong — will not be affected, the Shanghai Information Office said on its official microblog account yesterday.
Motorists will be directed to other tunnels across the river while the work, beginning in February, is taking place.
Built in the 1980s, the tunnel is in need of an overhaul, said the information office, and work on the Pudong-to-Puxi part will start in February.
The renovation work will upgrade the facilities to ensure safety, said Zhang Minyi, Party chief of the Shanghai Road Administration Bureau.
It will also be linked with a “triple decker” East-to-West Passage which is expected to be complete by 2019, Zhang said.
The three-tier, 7.9-kilometer link will include part of Metro Line 14, plus a road tunnel and a road between the exit of the Yan’an Road E. Tunnel and Jinqiao Road.
Part of Century Avenue closes this weekend as construction work gets under way.
After the renovation, the tunnel will also feature more eco-friendly designs and functions, said officials.
The Pudong-to-Puxi part of the tunnel was built in 1988 to become the city’s major connection across the Huangpu River.
The Puxi-to-Pudong part was built in 1996. Both sections have only undergone some minor repairs and maintenance work since then.

Shanghai to get a planetarium
20 December 2014
Shanghai Daily Excerpt

LOCAL officials have approved the design of Shanghai Planetarium, which will be built near Metro Line 16’s Dishui Lake Station in Pudong’s Nanhui area.
Construction will kick off next year and will be completed in 2018.
The planetarium, which will be operated by Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, will have domes and curved lines suggesting the orbiting of the moon and earth.
The “three spheres” was designed by an American company and was one of the 13 designs submitted by designers from China, the US, France, Britain and Germany.
“We narrowed down the choices from 13 to 2 — ‘three spheres’ and ‘crash’ which was submitted by a French agency,” Lin Qing, an official with the Shanghai Planetarium Construction Committee, told Wenhui Daily.
“We showed the two designs to experts and citizens, and the majority of them preferred ‘three spheres’ as it is easy to make out that it is a planetarium.”
Visitors will get a feeling that they are entering a valley when they stand under the inverted main dome. The design also includes a dome theater.
The green belts around the main structure are shaped like curves to suggest spiral arms of the galaxy.
The planetarium will have three themes — Home, Space and Journey. “Home” will highlight the relation between Earth and the solar system; “Space” will explain light, gravity, galaxy and the extragalactic system; while “Journey” will talk about the start of life and the development of the human species.
The planetarium will take up a total area of 58,600 square meters — the size of eight football fields — and will be the world’s largest.
It will be the second one in China after Beijing, which opened in 1957.

Experts look at Shanghai in the next 30 years
13 February 2015
China Daily Excerpt
![]()
The Shanghai government's development research center, a main think tank for the municipal government, held three seminars on the city's development in the next 30 years. Dozens of experts from such fields as city construction and governance and management submitted proposals to the government.
"To build Shanghai into a global center city, the government needs to attach more importance to its economic structure than economic scale," said Zhang Youwen, an economics researcher at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
The key point of economic globalization is transforming from trade liberalization to investment liberalization, requiring countries to open up their markets and lift investment controls, Zhang said. "Basically, it is to promote the free flow of production factors around the globe," he explained.
There are more than 400 bilateral investment agreement negotiations in the world today, among which one-fourth involve China.
"The emerging economies, with China as a representative, benefit from this process. China's opening-up requires Shanghai to form a mature market economy, and have an efficient and clean government to attract more investment, trade and research and development centers of transnational enterprises," Zhang said.
Wang Xinkui, councilor for Shanghai's municipal government, said: "Shanghai should occupy the most valuable link in the global industry and value chains. And Shanghai should not expand its urban area, but improve the planning of its current area, so as to make the city more livable."
In the next 30 years, Shanghai should pay more attention to upgrading its infrastructure, especially public transportation facilities, and protecting the natural environment, to make the city a better place to live, said Jia Kang, a finance researcher at the Ministry of Finance. "Shanghai should be a city with modern infrastructure, clean environment, fair market environment, and mature city management system based on laws."
