You see them almost immediately as you emerge from the Dalian Road Metro station along Changyang Road, a jarring picture against the late afternoon sun.
Two men were perched precariously on top of a roof ledge, swinging their thin hammers to break up, brick by brick, yet another old house. Hongkou is a very old district in Shanghai and is largely known as the former Jewish Quarters as a result of a flood of Jewish refugees into Shanghai during World War II.
What was immediately disconcerting was the way the demolition was taking place. It was incredibly manual and alarmingly dangerous. Most building construction (ground up) have basic scaffolding and even if they seldom meet onerous Western standards in the same industry, attempts are made to provide basic safety beyond a rickety plastic helmet.
Demolition is altogether a different matter. They are often outsourced with little proper supervision or regard for basic safety since the objective is to just flatten everything and have the debris carted away. An engineer would have surveyed the land to identify public water or sewage pipelines to avoid but otherwise, the task is left to workers with instructions to hack from morning to night.
