Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall

The Urban Planning Exhibition Hall explains Shanghai at city scale through models and development displays. It is a useful indoor complement to exploring the actual buildings around People’s Square.

Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall

Why go

The city model lets you connect individual landmarks to the larger pattern of Shanghai’s development. Planning exhibitions add context to what was built and what was proposed. That broader perspective is especially helpful after sightseeing that otherwise presents the city as a sequence of isolated towers, streets and monuments.

What to look for

  • The large city model brings Shanghai’s development into a single view.
  • Planning exhibitions connect recent projects with the city’s urban history.

Useful to know

  • Pair the exhibition with People’s Square to compare city-scale plans with the surrounding civic buildings.
  • Check the hall’s visitor information before making it the indoor anchor of the outing.
