Whoa, 2020 Is Only 12 Years Away
And look how cool Shanghai (maybe) will look by then! I’ve always been a sucker for maps of all kinds and, by extension, cool scale models like the one seen above. Neatorama pulls together some Flickr snapshots of this cooler than cool scale projection of what the Shanghai Urban Planning Museum believes China’s largest city will look like in 2020.
Any time I see one of these cool scale models I stop and stare for entirely too much time. Wake Forest has one (I think it’s in Benson University Center now?), and so does the library at the University of Hartford, where I taught this spring. And who could forget that cool model of Revolutionary Boston that lit up and made noises that they had up in the sadly now-defunct observation deck at the John Hancock Tower?
