The turmoil of being remodelled from a fishing village to function as a treaty port during Shanghai’s colonial-era significantly influenced its relationship with the West. In its glorious years between the 1920s to 1930s, the city’s international interrelationships can be contested according to English writer J. G. Ballard’s experiences of living ‘abroad’ in the British settlements of Shanghai. His example is not the only one. Over multiple generations, as mobility between the East and the West became stagnant in this megacity, the cultural attributions of foreign residents on Shanghai have never ceased to stop drifting. It is important and relevant to grasp the socio- developments of the former concessions by recognising global citizens’ cultural and spatial productions. Since China regained ownership of Shanghai in the late 1940s, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has implemented intense urban changes to this cosmopolis. Due to the massive population of 1.4 billion national citizens, little academic research has been conducted on global citizens living in Shanghai’s increasingly socialist open-market economy. This study focuses on a specific example of foreign experience in Shanghai’s former French concession (FFC). It uses the heart of FFC’s Wulumuqi road to observe the experiences of a francophone community. Their lived memories and distinctive transcultural mindset show the socio-cultural power of Shanghai on a microscale.
