This town for 30,000 new residents in the northern suburb of Baoshan was designed by a team of architects at Sweden's Sweco. It features a strong Nordic theme with steep roofs, a traditional town square, and a park that sits on a lake shaped like the Baltic Sea. 

Is this completed?

Wow, originally being from Sweden, I can't wait to see this. Is this project completed and inhabited? How far from Shanghai is it? Douglas www.douglasljungkvist.com

Hey Douglas, Yep this is completed! I have many friends from Sweden and they also found this project very interesting! Baoshan is a district of Shanghai in the north, as far as I can remember. I think they are still developing metro stations to reach this area of Shanghai but you can get the bus there from People's Square or just get a cab for like 20-30rmb... I think it is where the main university is... When you visit, if you take photos - would be great to post some up here on this site!! In any case let us know what you think! Soraya
