Shanghai Pudong city center and suburbs are divided into two areas centered on the Outer Ring Road, within the Outer Ring Road is the city center, that is, Shanghai Pudong city center. Outside the outer ring road is the suburb. Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park is located between Shanghai's Inner and Outer Ring Roads, so it is not part of the city center.
By the end of 2017, the downtown area contained the following eight districts: Huangpu District (Huangpu District, the former South Downtown District, and the former Luwan District), Xuhui District, Changning District, Yangpu District, Hongkou District, Putuo District, Jing'an District (Jing'an District, the former Zhabei District), and the inner city area within the Outer Ring Road of the Pudong New Area.
Extended information:
As of the end of 2017, there are 16 municipal districts under the jurisdiction of Shanghai. According to the Shanghai Urban and Rural Planning Management Regulations, the scope of the central city of Shanghai is determined by the master plan, and the suburbs are outside the central city. And the current city master plan stipulates the central city limits as within the outer ring line.
Shanghai city center space is far from saturated, the development of the Expo plate and the development of the eastern part of Pudong for the development of the central city provides space. Shanghai's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" has initially determined the direction of the central city will form a "cross-axis" development pattern.
One of these axes (also known as the horizontal axis) is the main axis of urban development from the Hongqiao Airport in Puxi to the international airport in Pudong, and the other axis (also known as the vertical axis) is the axis along the Huangpu River, including the Huangpu District, Hongkou District, Yangpu and other districts, as well as the most important part of the World Expo.
Shanghai suburbs are located in the Yangtze River delta front edge, is located in latitude 31 degrees 14 minutes north, longitude 121 degrees 29 minutes east, east and south of the East China Sea, the west connects Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the northern boundary to the Yangtze River estuary, convenient transportation, geographic location is more advantageous.
Shanghai suburbs include Minhang, Baoshan, Jiading, Qingpu, Songjiang, Jinshan, Fengxian, Pudong New Area (outside the outer ring road), Chongming District. Minhang and Baoshan is the "central city expansion area"; Jiading, Qingpu, Songjiang, Jinshan, Fengxian belongs to the "new urbanization area".
Pudong New Area is a "new urban development area", with the area within the outer ring belonging to the central urban area of Shanghai, but most of the rest of the area, such as Chuansha and the former Nanhui area, is a suburb; Chongming belongs to the "comprehensive ecological development area".
Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park, known as China's Silicon Valley. Founded in July 1992, is located in the south-central Shanghai Pudong New Area, is China's national high-tech park, with Lujiazui, Jinqiao and Waigaoqiao Development Zone as Shanghai Pudong New Area, four key development areas.
After nearly two decades of development, the park has established the framework of biomedical innovation chain, integrated circuit industry chain and software industry chain.
Shanghai Biomedical Science and Technology Industrial Base, National Information Industry Base, National Integrated Circuit Industry Base, National Semiconductor Lighting Industry Base, National 863 Information Security Achievement Industrialization (East) Base and National Software Industry Base are located in the park.
National Software Export Base, National Cultural Industry Demonstration Base, National Online Game and Animation Industry Development Base and many other national bases. There are National Torch Pioneer Park and National Overseas Educated Personnel Pioneer Park. Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park is striding towards the visionary goal of a world-class hi-tech park.
