When my friend Joe Sloboda first told me that we were going to the Urban Planning Museum I was not exactly thirlled, but soon after entering the hall I quickly changed my mind.

I was absolutely amazed at how cool this place is, the tour guide was super infomative and it was crazy to learn how well planned out this massive city was and is (the ...

The scale model of the entire city is just incredible. We spent some time looking around the place in general, but the model is the main reason to go. If you're living in Shanghai (or visiting for an extended period of time), go here after you've been around for a month or so: It's much cooler when you can identify all the places you've been.

I will tell you this once. Urban planing hall is a great place for adults but not so great for children because the miniture cities might not amuse the kids. I myself really love architecture so I really enjoyed this. I love this place and I hope I will visit it again. I give this a thums up!!

I was told it's a must see but found it rather boring. The best part of the visit was the exhibit of Russian Art they had on the top floor. It made the stop totally worthwhile. I'm sure the city planning aspects are interesting if you're an architect, builder or city planner.

Top 2 floor are the best... 4th floor: a scale model of the city and 5th floor: the multi-year plan to attack pollution, traffic, etc.

The urban planning exhibition hall captures the painstaking thought that goes into developing a city. We need more of these types of examples to further our understanding of cities that are leading the way into the 21st century.

There was little signage providing you with details on the various floors and thus I spent far too much time on the first 2 floors not knowing that the top floors contained all the "meat".

Any tourist visits Shanghai, must see the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall first taking enough time ( say full half day) to know Shanghai of yesteryears, today and its future plan.Then only he should look for Shanghai of today. Our local guide took us on the last day as a visiting place that is not good.I consider thet I missed Shanghai and wish to go again.
