Shanghai is a city of opposites: East and West, new and old, traditional and avant-garde. Can this international metropolis, with a burgeoning population and a surging economy, conceivably balance the demands of development and growth with a respect for the city's historic identity and a sustainable approach to its heritage buildings and sites? Join Professor Ruan Yisan, an urban planner intimately involved with these issues, for The Meridian Society's Annual Lecture. Professor Yisan is Dean of the National Research Centre of Historic Cities at Tongji University in Shanghai and Chair of the Ruan Yisan Heritage Foundation. Please note, this event will have simultaneous translation. A reception will follow the talk. Book tickets for RIBA events at architecture.com/programmes.
