Since the 40s or 50s of the 19th century, sports have gradually popularized and developed in Shanghai. The city has successfully hosted many world’s top sport events and has actively carried out mass fitness activities. These are due to the government support, economic boost and cultural accumulation. The municipal government and Shanghai Administration of Sports always look forward to turning Shanghai into a famous sports city in Asia or even in the world. The researches on Shanghai’s sports development by the scholars are progressing and more and more research achievements have been obtained. Based on the existing literature and by the means of status quo, problems and measures, the paper focuses on brand events, community sports, facility utilization and mass fitness. The city of Shanghai has rich experience in hosting sport events, strong source of funding and extensive mass foundation. So long as we can solve the existing problems one by one and learn the successful experience of the other countries, we are capable of constructing Shanghai into a world-famous sports city. |
