Summarizes Hans Berents' speech (engineer) who advocated the erection of a bridge aimed at connecting Pudong to Shanghai and creating a larger economic space. Berents regretted that political interests had prevented such development todate. Called for the establisment of a "Board of Control" composed of members selected from the chambers of commerce and other interested bodies in order to coordinate all municipal interests within the area of a larger Shanghai - which he called "Greater Shanghai".
