Description: "As Shanghai modernizes and seeks acceptance as an international city, buildings and neighbourhoods that were once preserved "by accident" are now being purposefully demolished. Phantom Shanghai is a photographic journey through the Shanghai that is unlikely to survive the vision of its own future." "Since 1998, Greg Girard has been photographing the effect of this transformation on the buildings, shops, homes, neighbourhoods, and inhabitants of China's largest city."--BOOK JACKET.
