Shanghai

Published June 2005

Shanghai is a city of juxtapositions with a long and complicated history. Once a magnet for foreigners because of its sophistication and exoticism, it has re-emerged after decades of eclipse to become the economic powerhouse fuelling much of Chinas fevered growth. This attractively designed little guide gives tourists and professionals alike an overview of notable architecture created in Shanghai during this period (Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Stadium, Three on the Bund).
