Shanghai's ecological handshake with neighbors:
- The 300km "Living Levee" flood prevention system

How manufacturing reinvented itself:
- Suzhou's silicon wafer plants feeding Zhangjiang's chip design hubs
- Hangzhou's e-commerce live-stream campuses extending to Shanghai suburbs
- Nantong's robotic shipyards building AI-controlled container vessels
