Overview
The Pudong skyline is one of the defining urban images of the 21st century. Across the Huangpu River from the colonial Bund, the financial district of Lujiazui has grown from rice paddies in 1990 to a forest of supertall towers that constitute the world's greatest concentration of skyscrapers. Shanghai Tower (632m, second tallest building in the world), the Shanghai World Financial Center, and Jin Mao Tower together create a skyline that is most dramatically appreciated from the Bund across the river.
