About 100 multinational corporate headquarters will be drawn to Shanghai's North Bund, bringing along more than 300,000 professionals from both home and abroad The North Bund along the Huangpu River, covering four square kilometers, is undergoing a major urban transformation to become a new "urban benchmark" of the city. The riverside region is part of Shanghai's "golden triangle," along with the Lujiazui financial hub in the Pudong New Area and the Bund in Huangpu District. The development plan's
blueprint released by the city's planning authority includes more economic, scientific and cultural elements to create a "world-class parlor" of Shanghai. The waterfront features strategic location and historical significance. It's an eight-minute drive to the Bund and Lujiazui, 25 minutes to Hongqiao airport and 45 minutes to Pudong airport.
