The city of Shanghai, China is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world in terms of skyscraper construction,[1] with the City of Shanghai reporting at the end of 2004 that there had been 6,704 buildings of 11 stories or more completed since 1990.[2] In 2011 there are over 20,000 buildings 11 stories or higher and more than 1,000 buildings exceeding 30 stories in Shanghai.[3] As of January 2019, there are 165 high-rise buildings either under construction, approved for construction, or proposed for construction, of which five are over 300 m (980 ft) high.[4]
Shanghai's first building boom occurred in the 1920s and 1930s, during the city's heyday as a multinational center of business and finance.[5] The city's international concessions permitted foreign investment, and with it came architectural styles from the West, as seen today in areas such as the French Concession and the Bund.[6] After the Communist takeover in 1949 the city's development was stifled, punished for its earlier capitalist excesses.[7] After economic reforms beginning in the 1980s, the city is undergoing its second construction boom to fulfill its desire to regain its status as an important global financial center.[8]
The tallest skyscraper in Shanghai is the Shanghai Tower, which is 632 m (2,073 ft) tall with 128 floors. It is currently the tallest building in the People's Republic of China and the third tallest in the world.[9]
