News about this newly created FTZ was launched with much fanfare but lately (as at January 2014) with more than a little silence.
This map from the online Wall Street Journal www.online.wsj.com details the layout of the site which includes Pudong Airport.
Plans include a new city, expo area and the usual technology parks and business infrastructure.

With thanks to the South China Morning Post for this picture.....we're certain the FTZ folks mean that the FTZ is a 'pilot' venture and not, in the case of Pudong Airport, a pilot-free zone!
