Greater Shanghai Plan, Municipal development project in Shanghai, China.

The Greater Shanghai Plan aimed to establish a government center covering 4.6 square kilometers in the Jiangwan district of Yangpu, Shanghai.

The Nationalist Government of China initiated this urban development strategy in 1927, but Japanese occupation in 1937 interrupted its implementation.

Architect Dong Dayou incorporated traditional Ming Dynasty elements from the Forbidden City into the Town Hall design of the Greater Shanghai Plan.

The development featured high-speed roads radiating from centralized government buildings to connect different sections of Shanghai efficiently.

Municipal bonds and land taxes generated funding for the project, with an initial goal of raising 3 million Chinese Yuan for construction.
