This print captures the remarkable transformation of Shenzhen, China in 1988. Once a humble fishing village, this southern city in Guangdong province underwent an extraordinary metamorphosis after being designated as a Special Economic Zone in 1979. The satellite image showcases the rapid urban development that took place along the port area and parts of the coastline, gradually spreading inland towards the right. Shenzhen's evolution into a bustling metropolis is evident from this snapshot of its early days. What was once serene coastal land has now become a thriving hub of commerce and industry. This image serves as a testament to China's ambitious economic reforms and its ability to harness urban growth effectively. The significance of Shenzhen cannot be overstated; it stands as an emblematic representation of Asia's commercial prowess during the late 20th century.
