Shanghai, with the upcoming 2010 World Expo, is immersed in a deep physical transformation, reconsidering the relationships within the city as well as surrounding neighborhoods, and investing in buildings with national and international signatures. "Shanghai Transforming" examines this transformation, focusing on a widely diverse aspects including history, natural and artificial resources, economy, society, and public perception.Graphics and data, along with photographs, and maps, provide the reader with a rich resource from which to understand and appreciate this complex process.
