Summary: Urban reuse, creative production, consumerism, and heritage protection have formed an alliance for the transformation of inner-city districts of Shanghai.

Concepts like "Urban Loopholes", "Preservation via inhabitation", and "Gentrification with Chinese characteristics" characterize the specific mechanisms for urban development in Shanghai. ?Urban Loopholes? invites the reader to rethink the necessity of urban resilience in the face of globalization?s impact for change
