In order to build Shanghai into an international economic, trade, financial and shipping center as soon as possible, and then promote the economic development of the Yangtze River Delta and the whole Yangtze River basin, the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and the Municipal Government put forward the basic idea of Pudong's development and opening up to the CPC Central Committee and the State Council.

The development and opening up of Pudong in Shanghai is an important measure to expand opening up. Pudong refers to a triangular area east of Huangpu River, southwest of Changjiang Estuary and north of Chuanyang, which is close to the most prosperous Bund in Shanghai.

1In April, 1990, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council approved the development and opening up of Pudong, and implemented the policies of economic and technological development zones and some special economic zones in Pudong. This is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee to comprehensively judge the international and domestic general trend and make overall plans for reform and development. This has opened a new chapter in China's deepening reform and opening up.
Thousands of builders moved into Pudong, built bridges and roads, built factories and buildings, and an export-oriented, multifunctional and modern Pudong New Area rose. This not only promoted the rapid development of Shanghai, but also had a strong radiation and driving effect on the reform, opening up and economic development of the Yangtze River Delta, the whole Yangtze River basin and even the whole country.
