This is a real photo shot in Dec,2013. For seven days, children and the elderly were warned against going outside and shocking images showed an entire city nearly disappear from the skyline.

Shanghai’s Environmental Protection Bureau will issue alerts when concentration of PM 2.5 (the smallest and most dangerous particulates) is above 115 microgram per cubic meter, nearly five times maximum 25 level World Health Organization officials recommend as safe. The air quality can be acceptable when compared with China’s other major cities.

However, when it comes to the world standard, according to AQI, there is still a long way to go regarding the aspect of improving air quality.

Unlike tap water that can be drunk directly in western countries, it is not safe to drink it in China. 20 % of the water pipes in Shanghai were built in 1968.

The problem of food supply is an important one for the future,when large industrial cities will increasingly be superomposed on the more slowly chaning Chinese agricultural pattern. Rice is the basic food commodity for Shanghai.China has been striving to maintain food self-sufficiency, or rely mainly on domestic grain supply. The government has set a minimum line of 1.8 billion mu (120 million hectares)of arable land to ensure food security.

1 ) Resource scarcity; a relatively large gap exists between Shanghai and other

major provinces in terms of resources.

2) High cost of development, influenced by factors such as application

conditions, infrastructure, and component prices.

3) Shanghai lacks core technology. The predicament of maintaining technology

but lacking property rights and application is especially salient.

From the chart below, we can see that Shanghai has beenexpanding its area with an enormous speed since 1979, after the policy of reform and openingup. All the patterns of land use have an increase in different degree.

Although Shanghai phased-out the use of leaded gasoline and implemented Euro-I and Euro-II standards on July 1, 1999 and March 1, 2003, respectively, environmental monitoring data taken in 2004 revealed little improvement in Shanghai’s air quality.

The local government often encougrages citicens to use less private cars so as to a better living environment to live in. Celebrities are also as the example to appeal to people to take metro to workplace everyday o ride a bicycle so that there will beless car emssions.

Throughout the city there are recycling containers next to regular waste bins.

On the bins are posters depicting, rather crudely, what can and cannot be recycled.

However, most people seemed to just throw away their trash in either side of the bin indiscriminately. Furthermore, it was very difficult to tell if those that recycled correctly (plastic bottles, newspaper, food/beverage container into the green bin) did so intentionally or coincidentally.

Shanghai, as China’s most developed and prosperous city, it may notfully represent the whole aspect of China’s sustainable development.However, in some sense it can reflect that China still has a long way togo regarding this major task. And it needs the all the efforts from gov-ernment , compaines and citizens. Only if the people’s conciousnessHas rised, can the city develop towards a sustainable direction.
