CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'New Map of Shanghai'

This map was published in July 1945 and shows Shanghai with its administrative divisions as they existed shortly before the full postwar reorganization of the city’s districts. The former foreign-controlled areas — the International Settlement and the French Concession — are no longer labeled as such, but are instead marked as “special districts.” Although these concessions had been formally handed over to the Chinese government during the war, notably under the nominal administration of Mayor Chen Gongbo of the collaborationist Wang Jingwei regime, they retained a degree of administrative autonomy until the end of World War II in August 1945.
