Description

This book takes the unique housing typology of the Shanghai alleyway house and discusses its role in Shanghai life. Gregory Bracken examines the architecture and history of the alleyway house, its part in the citys cultural and social development, its portrayal in Chinese film and literature and the future of this unique urban dwelling as Shanghais rapid redevelopment threatens to destroy the alleyway house, and therefore a slice of Chinese architectural and cultural history, altogether.
