What things looked like before all the new infrastructure. A Shanghai Alley.
I was lucky enough to visit Shanghai. What an amazing place. This is the train station. My friend told me that they have built the equivalent number of buildings and transportation infrastructure as there is in NYC in the last 7 years alone. While we are tearing down cities like Detroit, they are building entire cities from scratch just so they have them in advance and they ‘re ready to go when they are needed!
