Shanghai: Up And Down

The number of people living in
Shanghai, China has increased
steadily over the past 20 years. Today,
it is one of the busiest cities in the
world. To meet the needs of its
growing population, Shanghai has
turned to technology to help grow the
city both up and down.
Growing up
In the 1930s, Shanghai's 22-story Park
Hotel was the tallest building in Asia. It
remained the tallest building in Shanghai
for many more years. Today, Shanghai
is a very different place. It is filled with
many skyscrapers, including the 101-
story World Financial Center and the
128-story Shanghai Tower. These days,
Shanghai is home to some of the tallest
and most amazing buildings in the
world.

ride bikes around the city. However, as
the population grew, new modes of
transportation became necessary. City
leaders decided to build down. They
created a large and modern underground
subway system. Today, the Shanghai
Metro train system is regarded by many
as the longest in the world - and it's still
growing. There are even plans to build
