1.Shipping In the field of ocean transportation, Shanghai port has established shipping and trading connections with more than 600 shipping companies and 500 more ports in 200 countries and regions around the world. The throughput of Shanghai port reached 8.61million TEUs, which ranked the 4th in the world, only after Hong Kong, Singapore and Busan in 2002.
  
   2.Overland Transportation
   Shanghai also enjoys a developed inland transportation: you can reach all the railway terminals in China from Shanghai railway station. In terms of highway, Shanghai plans to build 650km of expressway network in 2005 when it takes 15 and 30 minutes from any major industrial zones, hubs of communications and satellite towns to the nearby expressway and downtown respectively. The total length of high way in Shanghai has reached 238Km. A comprehensive transportation network connecting Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and even Yangtze Delta is coming into shape. Now starting from Shanghai, it takes only 4 hours to reach any of the cities in Yangtze Delta.
  
   3.Air Transportation
   In 2002, Shanghai’s airfreight volume ranked the first and air passengers number ranked the second among all cities in China. In domestic air routes, Shanghai has flights with all the provinces, national autonomous regions (except Taiwan) in China while Shanghai has flights with 59 cities in the world in international air routes. 31 international airline companies now have operations in Shanghai.
  
   4.Deep-Water Port Construction
   In order to satisfy the increasing throughput in container transportation, Shanghai started the Dayangshan and Xiaoyangshan deep-water port project that is the focus of China’s deep-water port construction in Yangtze River Valley and Delta. Its positioning is to be the hub port of northeast Asia, finally building a port with 15m deep, 50 more large container berths and 25 million TEU capacity. In the meantime, a 95km2 harbor city holding 300 thousand residents will be built up as the complete project.
  
   5.Airport Hub Construction
   Shanghai will build a combination-style international airport hub with Pudong international airport as the core and Hongqiao airport as the supplement. Currently, Pudong international airport has an annual capacity for 20 million passengers and 750 thousand tons airfreight. It is planned to be preliminarily confirmed as the air port hub in Asia-pacific in 2005 and finally build up 4 4E-level runways, 200 parking berths, 80 million passengers and 5 million tons air freight. (As we know, general international airport hub requires over 2 runways, 30 million passengers and 1 million tons airfreight. Pudong airport will greatly surpass such standard).
  
   6.Information Harbor Construction
   Shanghai’s digitalization is in the lead in China. It is planned that Shanghai’s level will reach the average standard of the central cities in developed nations in 2005 and the framework of “digital city” will be preliminarily built up in 2007.
   Main and complete projects for Shanghai information harbor include intensive information pipelines projects, broadband network construction projects, 2 key application projects construction, and some complete application projects. Objectives to be realized in 2010 include:
   1)Internet international access broadband reaches over 1000MB；
   2)Optical fiber coverage in building and residential area over 95%；
   3)Family broadband linking coverage reaches 50%；
   4)Narrow band linking capacity over 60 thousand lines，reaching 1 million users；
   5)Local intranet bandwidth reaches over 100MB;
   6)Family telephone coverage reaches 85%, mobile phone coverage reaches 23.8%, cable TV family coverage reaches 85.4%.
