This book examines how the architecture and the urban landscape of Guangzhou framed
the relations between the Western mercantile and missionary communities and the city's
predominantly Chinese population. The book takes readers through three phases: the
Thirteen Factories era from the eighteenth century to the 1850s; the Shamian enclave
up to the early twentieth century; and the adoption of Western building techniques
throughout the city as its architecture modernized in the early Republic. The discussion
of architecture goes beyond stylistic trends to embrace the history of shared and
disputed spaces, using a broadly chronological approach that combines social history
with architectural and spatial analysis. With nearly a hundred carefully chosen images,
this book illustrates how the foreign architectural footprints of the past form the
modern Guangzhou
