Several places come to mind considering the requirements of our project,

1.) Jing an Temple

  

I’m particularly intrigued by this location because of how the subject remains mostly unchanged, however today the surrounding area is extremely gentrified. I think it may be interesting to see the progression of the surroundings, while the focal point of the temple remains the same.

2.) The Bund

The Bund is an extremely changed part of Shanghai, particularly after the first opium wars when the British took control of the area. Most of the infrastructure and cultural relevance stems from that period. Today, the same architecture and buildings are still there, however, it has been gentrified to carry luxury brand stores, not to mention the skyline of skyscrapers in Lujiazui right across the river

3.) Lujiazui

  

In the 1970s and 80s, Pudong was not developed. There were no buildings or commerce like it is today. Lujiazui was farmland. It may be interesting to consider this since the particular area developed extremely quickly. Within 30 years it developed from undeveloped farmland to one of the biggest commerce capitals of the world.
