About Us

urbanatomy.com is the Internet companion to the Urbanatomy guide series, produced by that's Shanghai, the city's most respected name in English language media and its largest urban monthly. Like the guides, the inspiration for urbanatomy.com is the richness and diversity of life in the most dynamic metropolis in the world. An increasingly globalized and international city, Shanghai is on, twenty-fours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year - as is urbanatomy.com.

Shanghai's prolonged growth has, in a historical blink of an eye, created a teeming metropolis that can be described in the same breath as many of the world's great cities. Shanghai has long been in the media spotlight as the financial and business center of China, but with its thriving arts scene, sophisticated bars and restaurants, and rich cultural offerings, now it is the country's entertainment capital.

As a complement to the Urbanatomy guide series, urbanatomy.com is also stocked to the brim with useful, up-to-date and accurate information on all aspects of Shanghai life. The frenetic pace of change in Shanghai implies that in order to remain relevant and timely, urbanatomy.com will be constantly updated with the latest news, events, reviews, tips, and articles - seamlessly integrating the on and off line worlds.

None of this would even be remotely possible without using the latest Internet technologies and without paying heed to the latest Internet trends. The line between those who produce and those who consume information has been irrevocably blurred. urbanatomy.com harnesses the full power of the Internet as a medium by offering a high level of interactivity; by leaving comments and speaking their minds in forums, users will be able to freely interact with both urbanatomy.com writers and other users. Discussion, dialogue, and the exchange of opinions and information make urbanatomy.com an online community (in every sense of the word), thereby becoming much more than the sum of its parts.
