Item from April 19, 1990, in China Daily: The Pudong area is in the east part of Shanghai, separated from the west of the city by the Huangpu River. ... An ambitious program to expand and develop China's largest industrial city into the country's top open economic zone has been endorsed by the State's leadership.
More than two decades after authorities decided to develop Shanghai's Pudong area, the city's iconic structures and skyscrapers, such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Shanghai Tower, stand as a testament to the achievements of its rapid development.
Pudong is also home to the Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone and the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
