As Richard Florida noted, “A city’s vitality thrives on diversity and possibility.” This ethos pulses through Huaihai Road, where Shanghai’s past and present converge. The Gascogne Apartments—a Republican-era landmark designed by Leonard, Veysseyre & Kruze—now epitomize this urban alchemy. Once a silent witness to history.
