Is it just me that finds it bizarre that they call Shanghai "the capital of the future" without any references to global warming and the vulnerability of Shanghai to sea level rise?
Although not as at risk as Miami, Shanghai is one of the most vulnerable cities in the world. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/nov/03/miami-shangha...
Shanghai is already one of the most important cities of the world - today. Predicting the future is something else, although I certainly expect Shanghai to do better than Miami, and probably New York as well.
