Comments : These maps show the impact of war on factories in the International Settlement. They document where and with what workforce factories opened after the conflict of August-November 1937. They are based on the July 1936, July 1938, and July 1939 surveys by the Shanghai Municipal Police. The 1937 survey is currently missing. These maps belong to a series that document 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.
