After forty years of stagnation, the great metropolis of SHANGHAI is currently undergoing one of the fastest economic expansions that the world has ever seen. While shops overflow and the skyline fills with skyscrapers, Shanghai now seems certain, sometime in the twenty-first century, to recapture its position as East Asia’s leading business city, a status it last held before World War II. And yet, for all the modernization in terms of infrastructure, lifestyle and availability of consumer goods, Shanghai at the turn of the millennium is nonetheless a city inextricably linked with its colonial past.
