Old industrial buildings on the banks of Shanghai's Huangpu River could be converted to form ‘China's Broadway', according to city officials. The new 70,000m2 development, comprising disused cement factories and other abandoned buildings, could be transformed to rival New York's famous theatre district.
In total, the city is planning to redevelop a 1.4km2 area surrounding the factories. The cultural and theatre area will be developed at near Longshui Road, while the surrounding area will become a riverside business centre including a 250-metre-tall skyscraper. The idea is to make the riverside into an eco-friendly area and open it up to the masses.
