Interesting example of city renewal and reconstruction scheme of Zhabei. A rundown squatterarea close to the main railway station in Shanghai, inhabited by about 580.000 people with an overall density of 805 pers/ha. Hereby the planners followed the neighboorhoud principle in a simplified manner, but the single family row houses were replaced by fourstoried walkup apartments.
