Pujiang, Shanghai

Pujiang New Town is a product of the One City, Nine Towns policy, which was initiated in 2001 and lasted for the duration of the tenth five year plan (2001–2005). Each of the suburban districts of Shanghai was assigned a new town, each with its own theme. Pujiang was designated as Minhang District's new town, with an Italian theme. Other Western themes used to date are Scandinavian, English, Spanish, Canadian, Dutch and German.den Hartog (2010a), pp. 34–36
