Sometimes it can be hard to conceptualize change. For example, it may be impressive to hear that the Shanghai Metro has grown to have 337 stations and 14 subway lines in just 22 years, but what does that kind of change look like?
Here’s a GIF that helps illustrate it. Not pictured are future expansions that will connect the Shanghai Metro with the subway lines of Suzhou and Wuxi. As mind-blowing as this is, we should keep in mind that subway expansions like this are happening all over China.
And if this GIF inspires you to build an elaborate subway system of your own, you can always check out the game Mini Metro and become the urban planner you’ve always wanted to be.
