You're welcome, and I'll accept awe-inspiring as an adjective.

Even more impressive if you pan around and zoom in is the level of construction activity. A lot more large buildings are being built. The Chinese are pioneering a lot of modular construction techniques, and I recall posts about a 30 story building being erected in about two weeks. The individual modules that comprised it were built elsewhere, then moved to the site and lifted into place like Lego blocks, with plumbing, heating, and electrical conduits mating with those below.

There's a lot of current construction in NYC, but I suspect it's a fraction of what is taking place in Shanghai.
