A road-widening in progress - this is Wanping Nan Lu south of Longhua Lu where it used to be a small lane (whereas the rest of Wanping Lu is a fairly major road, you can still see the curb of the road here) - buildings along both sides have been demolished leaving exposed sides of the buildings (the buildings to either side form part of what was probably an older village that has been swallowed by surrounding development) - in this case, development is not occurring along the road, only enough space has so far been demolished for the wider road, however further south along the road are a number of massive new developments and subway Line 12 under construction as well as access points to the Longhua Port area along the Huangpu River and there is significant truck traffic along this road

Still life with bicycles… (a curious interstitial space between the old Longhua Airport and the Longhua port area)

The view from along the famous Bund along the Huangpu River, showing the Pudong area across the river with its towers (including the Pearl Tower, the one that looks like a spaceship)

Inside a flower market along Qinzhou Lu, north of Tianlin Lu - it also has fish, birds, and insects

Some guys hanging around in what seems to be a storage locker along Fanyu Lu south of Huaihai Xi Lu - the chalk on the left says something like "Firecracker wholesale station", and the sign on the right says "Guarantee Social Security"… whatever that means…. just a nice place to read the newspaper maybe

One of the last remaining strips of older buildings near the end of Huaihai Xi Lu

Interior of Shanghai Sculpture Space, a former industrial building adaptively reused for gallery space, sculpture display and offices for creative industries, at Red Town, a "creative park"/centre/zone near the end of Huaihai Xi Lu and Hongqiao Lu

Traditional French Concession street buildings along Xinle Lu - street level has been opened up as retail space (in this case fashion boutiques) with residences and other existing uses remaining above
