Silicon Bund: How Shanghai Became China's Living Laboratory for Urban Tech
The glow from augmented reality navigation systems now rivals the neon lights of the Bund at night—a visual metaphor for Shanghai's digital metamorphosis. What began as pilot projects in Pudong's skyscraper forests has blossomed into a full-scale technological revolution transforming every district of China's most cosmopolitan city.
The Digital Infrastructure Revolution
