  • The Luxury Malling of Shanghai: Successes and Dissonances in the Chinese City
    1 1 Th e Luxury Malling of Shanghai Successes and Dissonances in the Chinese City A g n è s R o c a m o r a Introduction Th is chapter looks at the role of one particular type of urban formation in the redefi nition of Shanghai: the luxury shopping mall. In the 1990s and following China’s post-Cultural Revolution opening to the West as well as the party- state’s adoption of a socialist market economy, the city saw the emergence and rapid proliferation of luxury shopping malls. Multi- storey buildings hosting international brands such as Fendi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton or Coach are recurring sights, with Plaza 66, CITIC and Westgate Mall (known as the Golden Triangle of luxury malls) only a few among the still rising list of luxury shopping malls. Th ese malls are part of a wider phenomenon of urban redevelopment in Shanghai. Indeed throughout the 1990s the city experienced an unprecedented programme of urban renewal, economic restructuring and growth.1 Shanghai shift ed from a manufacturing economy to one focused on fi nance, real estate and the service sector.2 Th is urban and economic shift was refl ected in the restructuring of the spatial organization of the city, with skyscrapers, avenues and newly constructed roads central to its reshaping and globalizing.3 Informed by a series of visits to Shanghai in the course of 2014–16 4 and in dialogue with some of the extant literature on Shanghai and China, the chapter shows that to understand the presence of luxury malls in Shanghai one needs to look at the wider context of China’s embrace of both shopping malls and luxury, as well as at the city’s history as a cosmopolitan consumerist centre (fi rst section).
