The Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Hall (chin.上海城市规划展览馆, Pinyin: Shànghǎi chéngshì guīhuà zhǎnlǎnguǎn), located on People's Square in city center of Shanghai, is one of the world's largest showcases of urban development.

Filmmakers and science-fiction writers have imagined it, but if you want to see what a city of the future is really going to look like, take yourself over to this museum.

The Exhibition Hall is a 6 story building, with two basement levels, which displays Shanghai's urban planning and development. Visitors are provided with a glimpse of how Shanghai will look like in a couple of decades. The Exhibition Hall tells the story of Shanghai’s evolution with a spectacular collection of archival photos, meaningless but beautiful exhibitions on wastewater management and other public works, and a scale model of Shanghai circa 2020 that spanned an entire floor.Virtual Shanghai, a computer-generated flyover of the city projected onto a 360-degree movie screen was the highlight.

Exhibitions include models of planned and recent developments, as well as Shanghai's history. The centrepiece of the exhibition is a huge scale model of the city of Shanghai, showing all existing and approved buildings. Visitors can view the model at "ground level", or ascend a gallery running around it for views from above.
