Shanghai Impossible City

Professor Ruan Yisan, Dean of the National
Research Centre of Historic Cities at Tongji University in Shanghai, will discuss the need to balance development with heritage conservation.


Shanghai is a city of opposites: East and West, new and old, traditional and avant-garde. Can this international metropolis, with a burgeoning population and a surging economy, conceivably balance the demands of
development and growth with a respect for the city's historic identity and a sustainable approach to its heritage buildings and sites?

Join Professor Ruan Yisan, an urban planner intimately involved with these issues. Professor Yisan is Dean of the National
Research Centre of Historic Cities at Tongji University in Shanghai and Chair of the Ruan Yisan Heritage Foundation.

A reception will follow the talk.
