The China Institute for Urban Governance (CIUG) is jointly run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the Development Research Center of Shanghai Municipal People's Government with the support of the Shanghai Municipal Government, with the goal of building a world-renowned think tank with Chinese characteristics, a talent pool and a high-level international platform for exchange and cooperation. China Institute for Urban Governance will be committed to international exchange and cooperation, publicizing China's urban development path, philosophy and practice, enhancing China's international discourse right on urban governance and shaping China's discourse system on urban governance.
The School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), established in 2003 and located in the heart of downtown Shanghai, has developed itself into one of the most influential and international schools in political science and public administration in China. It is ranked as a top public policy school in China by the Chinese Ministry of Education.

It has a group of outstanding researchers featuring recognized scholars from both inside and outside Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It aims to become one of the leading Chinese think tanks and provide theoretical and practical advices to China’s social and economic development. It also cultivates a research base for formulating public policies and actively promotes the establishment of economic policy research innovation system. In 2017, SHINE was named as the core think tank in China. This indicates that SHINE has become one of the most important economic policy think tanks in China that focuses on industrial development and innovation, macroeconomics, international finance, urban and regional economy.
