Description
Shanghai Future Modernity Remade by Anna Greenspan explores the city's re-emergence as a hub for modernity in the 21st century. This study delves into Shanghai's street markets and skyscrapers to uncover its unique approach to futurism, one that diverges from nostalgic visions of the futuristic city. By examining the contours of an unfamiliar futurism, Greenspan reveals how Shanghai is reinventing the concept of modernity as it modernises. The result is a city that is not merely mimicking earlier models, but rather creating its own path forward. This book offers a nuanced understanding of Shanghai's role in shaping the future of urbanisation and modernity.
