This article focuses on the way sacredness continues to be engineered in today’s Shanghai, mapping the religious landscape through the exploration of four dimensions – namely, ‘landmarks’, ‘compounds’, ‘privacy’, and ‘waterways’. The article assesses the role played by churches, temples, and mosques, by home and working spaces, by waterways and virtual networks, in the shaping of an urban sacred space satisfying a variety of needs and traditions while being symbolically organized into a consistent territory. In the context of a religiously vibrant global city, locating ‘sacredness’ means understanding it as a process of ceaseless dislocation and relocation. Keywords Chinese religions, city mapping, imagined geography, religious globalization, sacredness, urban rituals Résumé Shanghai est une métropole qui se considère tout à la fois comme le berceau de la « modernité » chinoise, le lieu de naissance du mouvement révolutionnaire et une plaque tournante de la diversité culturelle et religieuse – une identité multiple qui s’inscrit dans un certain nombre de « lieux sacrés ».

The building massing rises gently with the topography against the backdrop of the forested escarpment. The dynamic roof forms are created by the intersecting geometries of the orthogonal city grid and the axis to Mecca. The massing culminates in a minaret that rises above the building, topped by an open cupola. As well as being a symbolic element of Islamic architecture, the minaret assists in passive stack ventilation, contributing to the sustainable features of the building.
