Shanghai has become a battleground for architects and developers all fighting to make their mark. But, Ruan Yisan, Professor of Urban Planning at Tongji University, is a fierce campaigner for preserving some of the city鈥檚 older buildings.

He has been involved with the renovation of many of Shanghai鈥檚 magnificent banks and hotels dating from China鈥檚 colonial period. He also helped with the design of the elevated waterfront promenade, which allows pedestrians to admire the city's views in safety.
