| Abstract |
The study aims to analyze the spatial formation process of the British Concession and Old Walled Shanghai in modern Shanghai. According
to the relevant urban planning system promulgated by the British Concession and Old Walled Shanghai in modern times, the main changes
of the city's waterways and roads, distribution of urban areas and major facilities under the influence of the system were analyzed. After
analysis, the results revealed that the county town known as the birthplace of traditional Shanghai culture retained its urban context in the
process of transforming into a modern urban space while the British Concession was endowed with a new urban language under the new
system. The development of urban space was orderly under the norms of the political system. Under the premise of formulating the
development direction as the framework, the goal of positive and orderly development of urban space was achieved through the means of
autonomy. However, in the absence of the general framework of the development direction and the imperfect political system, the means of
self-government are limited, and urban space develops in an unhealthy direction of disorder and excess development. Through analysis of the
three main roads in the British Concession and Old Walled Shanghai regarding the development of the city, the urban streets were gradually
given new characteristics, and the street and building functions changed with these new characteristics.. |
