Towering structures and green pasture

The Jinmao Tower (left) and the Shanghai Financial Center (right) are now standing tall side by side. However, it will not be too long that another structure, long proposed and recently approved, shall be standing taller immediately next to them. Right by the River Front Promenade, the green pasture in the foreground is several city blocks away from the said structures. Many passers-by especially tourists take advantage of this long vacant green area to rest and to take pictures. Indeed, there is almost none of this green area allocated within the city, where a nice panoramic cityscape or stunning skyline could be viewed while resting on the green at the same time.
