Photographer Rob Whitworth shot and produced this fantastic video of Shanghai, the most populous city-proper in the world at over 24 million people. As the commercial and financial center of mainland China, Shanghai is one of the fastest developing cities in the world, boasting double-digit growth in every year since 1992 (except during the global recession 2008 and 2009).
Economists remain optimistic of Shanghai's future since it was named the first Free Trade Zone in China in Sept. 2013, incorporating an 11 sq. mile corridor where commodities are duty-free and regulations are reduced. This will serve as a valuable experiment for other cities looking for ways to foster sustainability and diversification.
I recommend watching this in full screen with headphones. Also, check out Rob's Dubai video.
