[The Shanghai Stratigraphy]
Beneath the glass towers of Lujiazui lies what archaeologists have identified as 12 distinct urban layers - from Song Dynasty fishing villages to colonial concessions to socialist industrial zones. This vertical timeline forms the foundation for what may be the world's most consciously layered metropolis.

[Urban Theorist Perspective]
Dr. Helena Wu from Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences notes: "Shanghai demonstrates that urban modernity isn't about erasing history, but about making the past conversant with the future. Each new layer acknowledges what came before while preparing for what's next - it's architectural courtesy on a metropolitan scale."
