On Monday, the State Council informed on its website that the objective to control the size of the city happened to be part of Shanghai's ambitious masterplan for 2017-2035, already approaved by the government body.
The State Council told that by 2035 Shanghai’s population is going to be strictly controlled at approximately 25 million and the overall amount of land made available for construction won’t surpass 3,200 square kilometers.
