Cite Bourgogne was built in 1930 and consists of 78 lane residence buildings. The number of entrances have been restricted by placing these metal gates although visitors can freely enter and explore.
Amazing photos, thanks. Haven't been to China or Shanghai since the mid 2000s. Frankly I am more shocked by what hasnt changed. I figured they would have bulldozed everything and had the whole city looking like Pudong by now the way they were going. It is unfortunate to see that even some of the more recent construction (stuff I would have seen going up) has already aged rather badly.

Yes, they can build something nice quickly but maintenance is still an issue throughout China.
Your set brings back great memories of my trip in 2012. I am back in Shanghai next summer (2016)
