| | Shanghai's Huangpu Plans Ambitious Revamp |
 | | Central Huangpu District, home to some of Shanghai's crown jewels, including the Bund, Nanjing Road Pedestrian Mall, People's Square and Yuyuan Garden, is surging ahead with plans to evolve into a four-in-one entity: a central business district, a shopping mecca, a tourism site as well as a modern residential area. |
 | | The picturesque Bund area along the Huangpu River, which boasts classic European-style architectural structures, is an important component of Shanghai's central business district. |
 | | Officials said that toward this end, efforts will be made to revamp construction in the district's main attractions, including the Bund and People's Square, while pulling down old houses and erecting modern buildings in their place. |
