Shanghai : The Worlds Largest Scale Model of A City
I like checking out scale models, though ones that are usually made for city planning are sometimes quite basic, intending only to highlight new areas of development.
However, this massive one of Shanghai has got to be a sight to see in real life! Its really big – check out the people in the distance in this photo!
From Neatorama:
With over 20 million people in its extended metropolitan area, Shanghai is China’s most populated city. With an area of nearly 5,300 km² (2,046 sq mi), it is also one of the world’s largest urban areas.
On the third floor of the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum, there is what probably is the world’s largest scale model of a city.
The room-sized model of central Shanghai in 2020, as envisioned by the urban planners, fills an area larger than 100 square meters (1,000 square feet).
