Shanghai occupies a critical geopolitical position at the Yangtze River Delta (YRD). The region is currently China's centre for finance, business and economic, research, education, science and technology, manufacturing, tourism and culture, as well as the world’s busiest container port. With a total population of 28.5 million (as of 2022), Shanghai’s population is projected to grow between 35 to 45 million, whereby the population of YRD region is expected to surge to about 200 million of population by 2050.
