Shenzhen: Reinventing 35 Years of Innovation

In the final episode of our Future Cities strand, we examine Shenzhen’s so-called "Shanzhai" (imitation) supply chain as authoritarian governmental control and hyper-accelerated gentrification are rapidly changing the face of the city. WIRED offers a snapshot of its future and asks if this model can be taken globally – or if it’s a unique manifestation of a very special time and place.
