Strangely, during my time in Shanghai I never considered the fact that the Bund's entire image had changed so many times over the past century. I've always been more concerned with the changes that happened on the inner streets of the city. But you're right, the Bund is Shanghai's face, and it's incredibly ironic that it was so nice in the eighties, but needs reworking today. I do remember that it was a rather terrible place for flânerie (which is all the more surprising, because it's only my enthusiasm for Shanghai as an urban environment that brought me to learn the word 'flânerie'in the first place). Very astute of you to point this out - thank you! This is an enlightening photohistory of the Bund.
