Are the people and/or government of Shanghai doing anything

Are the people and/or government of Shanghai doing anything to develop culture in their city? I've read on many forums and newsgroups that Shanghai is pretty much a desert when it comes to culture and doesn't have a high society (a.k.a. social circles that to go fine arts performances). True?
