The increasing urbanization of society confronts political decision makers all over the world with challenges. What's the good governance a dynamic development of hybrid mega-cities asks facing an authoritarian socialistic state like china?

At the Chamber meeting of the German Chamber of Commerce in China-Shanghai Thomas Awe, director of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation/ Shanghai analyses the influence of decentralist political actions on the economic ascent of Chinas mega-cities - using the economic and socio-economic "laboratory" Shanghai and the field of work of the KAF in Shanghai and in Yangzi-delta as an example.

Do experimental political activities using the "Trial&Error-policy" question the (so far applying as a model of success) market-based democracy?

After the lecture Thomas Awe will answer any questions.
