26 Years of Growth: Shanghai Then and Now - 3 photo pairs - http://theatln.tc/18aFxv5 - Reuters photographer Carlos Barria recently spent time in Shanghai, China, the fastest-growing city in the world. A week ago, recreating the same framing and perspective as a photograph taken in 1987, he took this amazing shot showing what a difference 26 years can make. The setting is Shanghai's financial district of Pudong, dominated by the Oriental Pearl Tower at left, and the new 125-story Shanghai Tower, China's tallest building, at right. Shanghai, the largest city by population in the world, has been growing at a rate of about 10 percent a year the past 20 years, and now is home to 23.5 million people -- nearly double what it was back in 1987.
