It is without a doubt that Shanghai has changed a lot in the past ten to fifteen years. Apart from being more open, modern, developed and rich, it has ever more energy. Foreign tourists and expatriates came from the West to experience Shanghai, while influencing how Shanghai redefined itself.

If you ask the old fashion folks in Shanghai, they will tell you that Shanghai has been losing a lot of its "old" streets and buildings in the past ten to fifteen years. These old districts that carried more than memories are now modern buildings.
From another prospective, whether this is good for Shanghai is arguable. Having said that, there are already plenty of similar set up in modern Shanghai. I am sure that Shanghai is certain how to best revamp and redefine itself, to leave the best for its future generations.
