As urban futurist Dr. Lin Wei observes: "Shanghai has become the world's first quantum metropolis - simultaneously a singular city and a distributed network." With the Shanghai-Hangzhou hyperloop commencing trial operations this June, this living prototype of 21st-century urbanization continues to challenge conventional spatial economics.
