QuoteRecently, the growth of municipalities like Dubai, London, and Sydney is stirring renewed interest in miniature cities as planning tools. The new crown jewel of shrunken sprawl resides on the third floor of the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center: At more than 6,500 square feet, the stunning depiction of China's most populous city circa 2020 is one of the largest models of its type in the world.

HOLY COW!!!!
Shanghai isn't the most dense city out there but if it looks like that in 2020 I'd be impressed!
I have been in a lot of cities that have these kind of exhibitions. Sometimes they use different colors of existing buildings and proposed buildings
A whole boatload of anal architects spent a few nights building those structures. WOW!
