Abstract In the Shanghai of the early twentieth century, rapid population growth and the consequent high density meant that, in much of the city, everyday life was condensed into a small and compact box-shaped row house. These houses were arranged along lanes which were also communities, called lilong. Shanghai’s lilong seem haunted by images of Shanghai ladies. This paper aims to explore the social ecology of the lilong by studying its spatial aspects and asking to what extent they influence and are influenced by the radical and creative character of Shanghai ladies, whether “New Women” or “Modern Girls.” Shanghai ladies’ modern femininity, which was architecturally, socially and historically conditioned, seems to have given them a particular attitude with which to approach the physical world, and which in turn pervaded the atmosphere and identity of the city as a whole.

Abstract In a period of extreme inequalities, the speed and scale of capital flows into London constitutes a new economic process qualitatively different from that of gentrification. It is underpinned by the financialization of housing introduced in the 1980s, the policy of Quantitative Easing, the influx of corrupt money into the city and the growing role of private equity in real estate markets. Since the 2008 financial crash the “trickle-down” of land and property price rises has built on the existing shortage of affordable housing to create an acute crisis. Combined with the commercialization of housing benefit, inflationary pressures both top-down and bottom-up are the consequence. While the current influx of capital shares key characteristics with economic gentrification, its speed and scale is unprecedented. I propose that, since the 2008 crash, we have been witnessing a new phenomenon, which I liken to sterilization rather than gentrification.

Abstract China’s ongoing rural transition has led to dramatic infrastructural improvements in rural areas, yet local culture continues to decline. In rural east China fengshui has traditionally informed local building practice and has been revived since the “Reform and Opening” policy of 1978. It is practiced in those regions that have not yet been subjected to wholesale demolition and renewal, where residents are able to express a distinct connection to their homes. Adhering to fengshui enables an everyday placemaking process of engagement involving both practitioner and villagers. Through ethnographic field studies in rural Zhejiang province, this paper reveals how in a period of rapid rural transition the engagement with and (re)interpretation of fengshui contribute to the preservation of local building culture and community spirit. We argue that the findings indicate a need for much greater resident involvement in rural regeneration projects.
