EXPERT ANALYSIS:
"Shanghai's regional integration represents a third way between centralized planning and organic growth," observes urban scholar Dr. Michael Chen. "The scale of coordination across jurisdictions is unprecedented in urban history."
FUTURE OUTLOOK:
• 2030 population projection: 150 million
• Phase 2 expansion to include Nanjing and Hefei
• Potential cross-strait integration with Taiwan cities
• Emerging as blueprint for Global South urbanization
The Shanghai-centered megaregion offers compelling evidence that 21st-century competitiveness will belong to networked city clusters rather than individual metropolises.
