Perhaps no city rivals New York, but lately Shanghai is making its bid. As the booming Chinese financial center races to emulate its Western counterpart, these two culturally disparate cities share increasing similarities. Now, thanks to an innovative grant to the Bard High School Early College (BHSEC), students from BHSEC and Shanghai’s pre- mier high schools, Affiliated High School of Fudan University and No. 2 High School of East Normal University, are examining their respective megacities through collaborative comparative environmental studies of New York’s Hudson River and Shanghai’s Huangpu River.
