The Shanghai Municipal Government released the 2022 Industrial Map this week, giving a hint as to the commercial priorities for the city’s future layout. Facilities to support the digital economy, green technology and meta-universe have been newly added this year.



An official at the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Informatization told Yicai Global that the map has been gradually updated since the first, which was released in 2018. Currently, the map includes 53 Characteristic Industrial Parks with a combined space of 200 square kilometers. This includes 13 new parks with a total space of 47 square kilometers that were announced at the Shanghai Global Investment Promotion Conference 2022.



The map details the planning layout and future for 35 key industries, including integrated circuits, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, intelligent terminal devices, the meta-universe, green and low-carbon businesses, finance and shipping.



The 13 industrial parks launched this year will also include three parks for smart terminal devices.
