I like your reference to Shanghai's history here. It seems to be repeating itself. The image is softly paved in old gold, symbolic of the engine that drives this new colonization -- wealth. The figures may be dwarfed by the scale incongruity here, but they walk with a swagger. Wonderful tension between bridge and building, and that fragile shadow that zig zags its way through the foreground could represent the unknowns that lie ahead of these entrepreneurs. You use light, color, shadow, rhythm, scale, and tension beautifully to express what is
essentially an economic theme.
