上海科普大讲坛揭秘上海音乐厅平移技术 - 2021年10月26日

From the relocation of buildings to the use of nuclear technology, human ingenuity in the face of the challenges of a changing society and limited natural resources was discussed in lectures held at the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum over the weekend.

In Shanghai, an increasing number of historic buildings are being moved to new sites instead of being razed during the urban renewal process. Among them, the relocation of the 91-year-old Shanghai Concert Hall is no doubt a milestone.

The hall was initially built in 1930 as one of the finest cinemas in the city. In the 1950s, it served as the city's first professional music hall. To make room for urban renovation, in 2003, it was shifted by 66.46 meters and elevated over 3.38 meters.
