East Meets West: Xintiandi, the Shanghai neighborhood that changed China - Paperback

Shanghai's Xintiandi is China's first world-class landmark urban entertainment and cultural destination and East Meets West tells the story of how it came into being, showing how urban renewal is not only about constructing architectural spaces but also about deciphering the history and evolution of local culture. Author Zhou Yongping was one of the team that made Xintiandi possible, successfully balancing the requirements of the city government, local residents, the Shui On property group, future tenants and the millions of people who have visited the area every year since it opened in 2001. In 2016, the American Forbes magazine selected 'Global Top 20 Cultural Landmarks, ' and Shanghai Xintiandi was among them.
