This is Shanghai, Time-Lapse of a Bustling Chinese Metropolis

The soaring skyline and frenetic pace of Shanghai are depicted in a seamlessly connected series of time-lapses in “This is Shanghai” by filmmaker Rob Whitworth and urban explorer JT Singh.

In 1980 Shanghai had no skyscrapers. It now has at least 4,000 — more than twice as many as New York. ‘This is Shanghai’ explores the diversities and eccentricities of the metropolis that is Shanghai going beyond the famous skyline.
