Changing of Land Use Type and Structure of Production in Pudong District, Shanghai, China Since Opening

Abstract

Since the opening of Shanghai's Pudong New Area in 1990, Pudong has transformed its previously poor and backward appearance by introducing a large number of advanced manufacturing and service industries, making it the largest region in Shanghai in terms of economic output. Currently, due to the changing economic conditions in China, the development of the Pudong area needs to focus more on land intensification and industrial modernization, actively using stock resources for development and adjusting policies to respond to the changes in each industry. Therefore, by analyzing the changes in land area and output value of each industry in Pudong and the changes in the economic structure of Pudong, this paper concludes that the share of agriculture in the total economy of Pudong is decreasing year by year, the total amount of heavy industry exceeds that of light industry, the financial industry is growing as the pillar industry of Pudong, and the import volume is larger than the export volume. The conclusion is that Pudong should improve the level of agricultural production, increase the proportion of heavy industry in the development, improve the bank supervision policy and increase the imports to cultivate trading partners. These ideas will serve as a guide for the future quality development of Pudong and as a reference for new urban districts in domestic and foreign cities.
