In Depth
 
  
 
No one knows quite how large China's largest city really is. Official figures for 2005 put the unofficial population at over 20 million, made up of an urban population of some 13.4 million registered residents, an additional 4.38 million registered migrants from the countryside, and an unregistered and uncounted floating population of at least another 3 million. At the same time, temporary foreign residents currently number an estimated 40,000, not counting over 200,000 Taiwanese living in Shanghai while conducting business. The United Nations estimates that Shanghai's population will stand at 23.4 million by the year 2015. When Shanghai's unique architectural legacy and its recent economic transformation are factored in, it is easy to see why 7 of every 10 visitors to China come to Shanghai. This is China's economic, financial, and commercial center, its largest city, and the heart of China's future. No other super city in China, including Hong Kong and Beijing, is more vibrant or fascinating.
