"As we embark on the 21st century, Shanghai, the economic engine of China, is posed to challenge the established global economic order with its newfound supremacy. Despite the city's recent ascendancy, scant recognition has been paid to the causes of its giddy rise - history is not so much in the making, as being repeated. In Building Shanghai, the remarkably turbulent and compelling story of this illustratious trading city is revealed for the first time through its architecture, character, form, and urban development".
