Shanghai West Bund

Shanghai West Bund refers to Xuhui Waterfront along the Huangpu River, with a shoreline of 11.4 km, an area coverage of 9.4 km², and in a total land volume of 9.5 million km² for development, which was identified as a high-quality CAZ(Central Activity Zone) that carries the core functions of global cities by “Shanghai 2035” master plan. As an origin place for the national manufacturing industry in the 20th century, it took advantage of Expo 2010, Shanghai West Bund started the city renovation and transformed from an industry-intensive area to a public open space guided by the “planning-based, culture-oriented, eco-based and technological-innovation-driven” development principle. Besides, Shanghai planned to build it into an iconic zone which would be comparable with the Paris Rive Gauche and London South Bank.
