Comments : This map shows the distribution of industrial factories in the International Settlement in 1938, seven months after the end of the Sino-Japanese hostilities. This map is based on the July 1938 survey by the Shanghai Municipal Police. The 1937 survey is currently missing. This provides a view of where the factories were located in relation with the areas that were destroyed by bombings and fires during the Sino-Japanese hostilities of August-November 1937. This map belongs to a series that documents the changing geography of industry in Shanghai between 1936 and 1940. It is also related to a more general study of industries in the International Settlement from 1930 onward.
