Shanghai

In preparation to host the World Expo 2010, China's most dynamic city embarked on an overhaul that transformed the Pearl of the Orient into what is now dubbed the City of the Future. The world's tallest buildings, longest bridges, and fastest train are all part of this gargantuan metropolis. Shanghai provides an intimate look inside a megacity heaving with change, and offers essential insight into the challenges of remaining human in an increasingly urbanized world.
