In the mid-1930s Shanghai was already China's main industrial city. Its urban fabric, innervated by a dense network of canals, was dotted with industries from the suburbs to the center of the city, as far as the financial city on the Bund. The polycentrism that characterises the current urban structure reflects its particular economic, social, and cultural history. Shanghai, in this umpteenth phase of maturity, consciously lives this legacy. The interest in the city's historical-industrial heritage is growing; in its various incarnations it represents the common thread running through the different seasons of the city's flowering. Environmental and heritage needs have placed urban industrial areas at the center of important regeneration phenomena. This book investigates the nature of the relationship between industry and the historical city, and explores the context of the first practices of reuse, offering the basis for a critical reading of current experiences.
