The Population of Shanghai (1865-1953) A Sourcebook Authors: Christian Henriot, Lu SHI and Charlotte Aubrun The present volume is the first systematic reconstruction of the demographic series of the population of Shanghai from the midnineteenth century to 1953. Designed as a reference and source book, it is based on a thorough exploration of all population data and surveys available in published documents and in archival sources. The book focuses mostly on the pre-1949 period and extends to the post-1949 period only in relation to specific topics. Shanghai is probably the only city in China where such a reconstruction is possible over such a long period due to the wealth of sources and its particular administrative history, especially the existence of two foreign settlements.Publisher: BRILLPublication date: 1 November 2018ISBN: 978-90-04-38541-2
