A New History of Pudong

This book tells the story of the historical changes in Shanghai and Pudong, charting their journey from backwardness to prosperity and showcasing the remarkable achievements of China's reform and opening-up. The author begins with the origins of Shanghai and the name "Shanghai." In modern times, the city underwent many transformations, with the Bund becoming a financial hub while Pudong remained underdeveloped for a long time. Then, in 1990, the central government announced the development and opening-up of Pudong, bringing it a major opportunity for growth. In recent years, Pudong has made remarkable progress. It will continue to deepen reform and raise its international standing and overall competitiveness in finance, technology, trade, and other fields, making a greater contribution to China's development. Its model and experience may also be promoted and applied across the country.
