Shanghai Manual A Guide For Sustainable Urban Development In The 21st Century· 2016 Report

The Shanghai Manual embodies the principles and spirit of the Shanghai Declaration and the lessons and outcomes from both within and beyond Expo 2010. Together with the World Cities Day, sanctioned by the United Nations and celebrated on the 31st October, it represents a concrete outcome of the rich legacy of Shanghai 2010 to promote sustainable urban development for a better quality of life.

This second edition of the manual continues to fulfil the joint aspirations of the United Nations, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of China, Shanghai Municipal Government and the BIE, to share knowledge and capacity building for cities around the world, to foster cooperation and exchange in urbanisation and promote training in urban sustainable development, thus generating a positive multiplier effect.
