Why is Shanghai so developed and prosperous?

I have studied and worked in Shanghai for 1***6 years and know Shanghai well.

Shanghai is indeed very prosperous and developed. I think this can be said from the four aspects of "heaven, earth, time and people".

Weather is the climate. Shanghai has four distinct seasons and abundant sunshine. To put it bluntly, it is suitable for survival. Of course, this is not the main reason for Shanghai’s prosperity.

Place means geography. Shanghai is located on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, at the center of China's north and south coasts, at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is bounded by the Yangtze River to the north, the East China Sea to the east, Hangzhou Bay to the south, and the two economically powerful provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the west. It has a Huangpu River itself. The extremely superior geographical environment has promoted Shanghai’s shipping. Shanghai’s cargo throughput now ranks second in the world. It ranks first in the world and second in the world in container throughput after Singapore. In addition, I think the U.S. economy has a great impact on Shanghai, because from the map, Shanghai is the city in China closest to the United States by direct shipping. Cities such as Yantai, Shandong are also very close to the United States, but there is Japan in the middle. The United States is the world's largest city. As the most developed country in the world, Shanghai is definitely the first stop for American technology or goods when they come to China. Therefore, the two hundred years of history of the United States and the prosperity of Shanghai in the past two hundred years may not be a coincidence, but a causal relationship. It can be said that geographical factors are the most important factor in Shanghai's prosperity and development.

Time is the period. As mentioned before, Shanghai’s prosperous period is synchronized with that of the United States.

People are humanities. Shanghai is a city of immigrants, and the early immigrants mainly came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, two relatively developed provinces. The business atmosphere and fierce competition have cultivated Shanghai people with relatively strong business skills. In terms of brains, people here don’t care much about politics. They often consider how to maximize profits first when doing things. Moreover, a relatively developed economy in turn promotes people’s minds to be more open and receptive to new things.

I think the above four reasons are the best explanation for Shanghai’s development.

In mainland China, it is definitely the most prosperous because it also has the strongest economic strength.

Compared with Hong Kong, it depends on how you compare. My cousin has been to Hong Kong and now works in Shanghai. In terms of prosperity, it means the number of business districts, feasting, and bustling pedestrians. Wait, then Hong Kong is not as prosperous as Shanghai. Hong Kong is much smaller than Shanghai and has far fewer people. It is not as lively as Shanghai. But if compared with the level of development, there is still a certain gap between Shanghai and Hong Kong. This gap is mainly reflected in software rather than hardware, or to put it more directly, it is the system. Hong Kong has elections and *** Does Shanghai have the rights? Without these, what would be the result? It would breed corruption and widen the gap between rich and poor. But having said that, Shanghai during the Republic of China was much more developed than Hong Kong. At that time, its economic strength ranked among the top five in the world, even behind Tokyo.

Why is Shanghai the most developed city in China?

There are so many reasons! Just one! It's the truth! Because of Shanghai's history (it was the first city in the Far East and the fourth largest financial center in the world), even if it has not developed in the past few decades and rested on its laurels, this city will be in ruins. It’s obvious what it relies on. I wouldn’t agree with any other reason! If it is the best port, the geographical advantages of the port cannot be compared with Ningbo (deep water port, most suitable for 10,000-ton ships); transportation advantages (China's geographical location is much better, Guangzhou is also located in the corner of the delta terrain, etc. )

Why is Shanghai so developed?

Shanghai was just a small fishing village many years ago, and later became a small county town, far behind the Central Plains.

But by the 1930s, Shanghainese people could already sit in air-conditioned cinemas and watch Hollywood movies, while other places in China might not even understand what "electricity" was.

The reason is that the Qing Dynasty regarded Shanghai as an area open to foreign countries. Although this opening was forced, the opening also brought foreign industrial technology and management experience.

Now Shanghai has become an international metropolis. The reason for this development speed is the result of the hard work of the Shanghai people over the past 200 years. The people of Shanghai have always valued education and have a high cultural level. Shanghai has also As a result, a large number of scientific and cultural talents were produced. In addition, the people of Shanghai have good behavioral norms, contract spirit and legal concepts, which are also the core competitiveness of rapid development.

Is Shanghai developed?

Haha, this is difficult to summarize.

You said that the best and most developed place in Shanghai, or the class with the best benefits and the best wages, is very developed, and its degree of development can even be compared with that of many European and American countries.

But in terms of your real life, work, welfare, and economy, this is not necessarily the case. There are also many people in Shanghai whose per capita housing area is less than 10 square meters, without flush toilets, without bathrooms, and they earn the minimum wage, etc. ~

Is every area in Shanghai good? Why do they say it is very developed?

No, there are always areas with poor development. We cannot generalize.

< p> Why can Shanghai become the most economically developed city in China?

For a city to maintain its leading advantage over a long period of time, it cannot simply rely on policies. Shanghai has begun to accumulate experience since it opened for trade. The advantage cannot be dissipated.

Shanghai was the leading big city in the Far East as early as the 1920s and 1930s. It has also been China's largest industrial and commercial city since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The advantages of capital, talents and other advantages accumulated during this period have not been weakened
