Urban Anthropologist Perspective:
"Shanghai has achieved what no other global city has managed," observes Dr. Wei Zhang of Fudan University. "It deployed technology as cultural infrastructure rather than disruption. The QR codes on temple walls aren't contradictions - they're conversations between epochs."
From the AI-curated exhibitions at Power Station of Art to the quantum computing labs disguised as traditional courtyard houses, Shanghai continues to redefine urban modernity - proving that in the 21st century, the most advanced cities may be those that best remember their past.
