AN exhibition at the former World Expo 2010 site in Puxi is showcasing the changing urban landscape in the city.

Titled "Shanghai Variation," the exhibition at the Shanghai Design Center includes the redevelopment plans of the Dongjiadu area in Huangpu District, home to the oldest Shikumen buildings, and the old industrial areas in the Yangpu and Zhabei districts.

"The theme, Urban Variation, is an effort to inspire and involve the public to share their ideas with the city planners," said Zhao Baojing, deputy director of the Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Research Institute, the organizer of the exhibition.
