Why didn't pujiang town in Minhang District fall under Pudong New Area?

The reasons why pujiang town in Minhang District was not placed in Pudong New Area may involve the following aspects:

1. Minhang District itself has not made progress, and Nianjiabang Road has not been extended to pujiang town, and pujiang town has not participated in Shanghai's 2040 planning, subway planning and river-crossing tunnel, which may reduce the possibility of pujiang town being included in Pudong New Area.

2. pujiang town is located on the Huangpu River, and the development along the Huangpu River is the highlight of Shanghai. Qiantan functional area is one of the most important projects on both sides of Huangpu River, adjacent to pujiang town, which may make pujiang town play an important role in the future development, so Pudong New Area may give priority to other places.

3. Although pujiang town belongs to Pudong District, its industrial development axis is consistent with Minhang District, which may be one of the reasons why it is not included in Pudong New Area.

Generally speaking, the specific reasons may involve many factors, including policy, geographical location, industrial development and so on.
