history

As a seaport, Shanghai developed during the Qing Dynasty , outperforming Ningbo and Guangzhou . In 1842 Shanghai became a tract port as part of the “ unequal treaties ” with the colonial powers England, France, Japan and Germany . a. in this phase connection to international trade.

Just before the Second World War , Japan captured Shanghai in the Battle of Shanghai , which lasted from August 13 to November 9, 1937 .

The foreign concession areas were closed in 1947 with the withdrawal of the French .

1949: Establishment of the People's Republic of China . As a result, the area around Beijing was continuously preferred to Shanghai (the former southern metropolis) in terms of spatial development.

As of 1991, the Chinese government allowed Shanghai a comprehensive reorientation of the economy and urban development as part of the new communist economic policy . In 2003 the port lapped the port of Rotterdam with its handling volume , the Hong Kong port in 2004 , and Singapore in 2005 .

In 2005, construction began on the Yangshan Deep Water Port on the Yangshan Islands in Hangzhou Bay. The result is an eleven kilometer long quay where up to 50 container ships can moor at the same time. Loading is to be largely automated. This port is thus a direct competitor to the Ningbo-Zhoushan port . The facility is connected to the city of Shanghai via the 32.5 km long six-lane Donghai Bridge . The first Chinese offshore wind farm Donghai Bridge is located near the bridge route .

In 2013, a 29 square kilometer free trade zone was opened in Pudong. It is seen as an economic experimental field for the entire country.
