The map
Gaojing is a town in Baoshan District, on the northern side of Shanghai. It lies on the flat land of the Yangtze River Delta, and from above it looks like much of outer Shanghai. Large residential compounds and business parks sit between wide main roads and elevated expressways. Older creeks and channels still thread through the pattern.
Like many places on the edge of the city, Gaojing changed rapidly as Shanghai grew outward, and most of its farmland gave way to housing and commercial areas. Its closeness to the central districts means it now belongs to the daily life of the city and no longer feels like a separate place.
A Gaojing map poster captures that urban texture: the oversized blocks typical of recent Chinese development, the sweeping curves of the expressways, and the thin lines of the water network that is older than all of them. Without colour, the drawing becomes a study in scale and contrast, and an easily recognised record of home.
Housing estates and compounds form big, enclosed blocks with paths inside them. This coarse grain is typical of recent development in outer Shanghai.
Elevated roads cross the area in broad curves and straight lines. They are the most prominent shapes on the map and the main links to the rest of the city.
Narrow waterways, left over from the old delta landscape, run between the blocks. Their soft, irregular lines contrast with the planned road network.

Why Gaojing
For residents of Baoshan, and for people who once lived in northern Shanghai and have since moved away, Gaojing is one specific place within a very large city. A map of just this area turns an everyday neighbourhood into something worth framing.
Set your own title and subtitle, such as the name of a compound or a moving-in date, and choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Buy the digital files for $9, or order a printed poster on matte paper.
