Wednesday, 3rd February 2010. Mumbai, India. Michel St Pierre, Director of Planning and Urban Design, Gensler, San Francisco / Shanghai presents at the 2010 Mumbai Conference. While the world notes Shanghai's prosperity, the city's vision may provide a model for other global cities to follow. The Shanghai 2010 expo theme emphasizes sustainability and livability. The challenge for Shanghai's 21st Century planning and urban design includes creating urban forms and development patterns that are homegrown and design that takes into account geography, climate, culture, history and responsibility for the environment. This presentation outlines some of these plans, including the Puxi District Master Plan and the 632-meter, 128-story mixed-use Shanghai tower that is a part of this plan.
