The book explores the evolution of expatriate communities in Shanghai, highlighting their significant contributions to the city's transformation into a global hub. It traces the journey from the early 1980s, when foreign investment began to reshape the city, to the rapid expansion following China's entry into the World Trade Organization in 2000. Through this lens, it examines the cultural and economic impacts of migration in one of the world's most dynamic urban environments.
