How to create the GREEN Shanghai?
Living in Shanghai is : 1/ lacking O2, 2/ smelling like an exhaust pipe, 3/no peaceful and green retreat in the city, 4/ no city planner to improve the citizen 's life, 5/ on-going construction sites everywhere...
Am I the only one to be disturb by this?

Yeah! I also got the feedback from ppl that Pudong is the only area with some tinge of fresh air.
There was a simmilar problem in New Delhi. But then under the able leadership of Sheila Dikshit, Chief Minister, it changed. People could see all the changes around cleaner air, more trees, less noise and all. Following were the steps taken
1. Introduction of CNG - Public and private bulk transport was forced to switch to cleaner fuels.
2. Relocation of polluting industries - controversial but still left the mark.
3. Metro Rail - eased out the public transport pressures.
4. Planting of more tress around the roads.
5 Deleloping and maintaining of new gardens.
I mean these 5 steps have really changed the air in Delhi. Shangai has a lesson to learn here.
