From the 128th-floor observation deck of Shanghai Tower, urban planner Dr. Liang Weishen points to the city's revolutionary "vertical village" concept - mixed-use skyscrapers combining offices, parks, schools and apartments in single structures. This bold vision represents Shanghai's solution to accommodating 28 million residents without endless urban sprawl.
Recent developments include:
- 43 "vertical villages" completed since 2022
- Sky bridges connecting 78% of downtown towers
