Over the past century, Shanghai has swiftly evolved from a traditional city to an ultra-modern metropolis. Charting these changes, this book brings together rare archival images of the city and matches them with photos of the same sites as they appear today, from Jesuit cathedrals, Jewish synagogues, and Buddhist temples to neoclassical banks, Art Deco hotels, and the super-tall skyscrapers of the Pudong district.
