It was effectively the waterways of Taiping Rebellion (1850-64). The Hongkew Municipal Committee was Shanghai that decided the initial boundaries—obviously the Whangpoo duly obliged to come to an arrangement by which the Hongkew Police River but also the Soochow Creek (formerly known as the Woosung River (consisting of a body of just six men) were amalgamated with the police of prior to the creation of the Settlements) to the north and the Yangjing the British Settlement to try and improve things—the Shanghai Municipal Creek to the south.

The Americans originally had their own settlement in Hongkew, The original boundaries of the newly formed International north of Soochow Creek. However, it was poorly organized and governed— Settlement were agreed between Seward and the Taotai (the circuit criminals flocked there due to its general lawlessness and the authorities attendant representing the Qing Dynasty in Shanghai): along the lines of the former American Settlement starting from a point opposite Defence Creek (a point roughly in line with the edge of today’s People’s Square) and extending down the Soochow Creek and the Whangpoo River to three miles up the Yangtszepoo Creek and then in a straight line back to the point facing Defence Creek. n 1888-89 the Settlement was extended. It had become obvious to the SMC that the area they governed needed to be expanded due largely to an influx of Chinese living within the Settlement’s existing boundaries and the steadily growing number of mills, silk filatures and other industrial premises. Negotiations began in 1896 between the various national consuls in Shanghai and the Chinese authorities. Foreigners had already begun expanding out of the Settlement’s boundaries anyway—people and companies had begun to purchase large tracts of land from private owners to 48 49 SH_AZ_P044_071.indd 48-49 9/29/10 7:15:23 AM THE OLD SHANGHAI A–Z THE OLD SHANGHAI A–Z erect mills and factories around Jessfield Road to the west, in Paoshan (Baoshan) to the north of Soochow Creek and in Pootung. The most vociferous objections to the expansion of the Settlement actually came from the French Concession authorities and the French Minister in China, who had also been eyeing land for expansion. The Chinese objected too, but were in a generally weak position, having just lost a war with Japan (the Sino-Japanese War of 1895). Ultimately the Settlement expanded in the following ways: NORTH: From the Hsiao Sha Ferry on Soochow Creek (picture opposite) to a point about 70 yards west into Defence Creek as well as to the Shanghai- Paoshan boundary. The new border followed the Shanghai-Paoshan boundary to the point where it meets Hongkew Creek and thence in an easterly direction to the mouth of the Kukapang.

Although the German-American Bund received extensive press coverage during its existence and monographs of American politics in the 1930's refer to the Bund's activities, there has been no thorough examination of the charge that the Bund was a fifth column organization responsible to German authorities. This six-chapter study traces the Bund's history with an emphasis on determining the motivation of Bundists and the nature of the relationship between the Bund and the Third Reich. The conclusions are twofold. First, the Third Reich repeatedly discouraged the Bundists and attempted to dissociate itself from the Bund. Second, the Bund's commitment to Deutschtum through its endeavors to assist the German nation and the Third Reich contributed to American hatred of National Socialism.

  • A Neighbourhood Under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars
    European Journal of East Asian Studies EJEAS . () – www.brill.nl/ejea A Neighbourhood under Storm Zhabei and Shanghai Wars Christian Henriot Institut d’Asie orientale, Université de Lyon—Institut Universitaire de France [email protected] Abstract War was a major aspect of Shanghai history in the first half of the twentieth century. Yet, because of the particular political and territorial divisions that segmented the city, war struck only in Chinese-administered areas. In this paper, I examine the fate of the Zhabei district, a booming industrious area that came under fire on three successive occasions. Whereas Zhabei could be construed as a success story—a rag-to-riches, swamp-to-urbanity trajectory—the three instances of military conflict had an increasingly devastating impact, from shaking, to stifling, to finally erase Zhabei from the urban landscape. This area of Shanghai experienced the first large-scale modern warfare in an urban setting. The skirmish established the pattern in which the civilian population came to be exposed to extreme forms of violence, was turned overnight into a refugee population, and lost all its goods and properties to bombing and fires. Keywords war; Shanghai; urban; city; civilian; military War is not the image that first comes to mind about Shanghai. In most accounts or scholarly studies, the city stands for modernity, economic prosperity and cultural novelty. It was China’s main financial centre, commercial hub, indus- trial base and cultural engine. In its modern history, however, Shanghai has experienced several instances of war. One could start with the takeover of the city in by the Small Sword Society and the later attempts by the Taip- ing armies to approach Shanghai.

  • Regeneration and Sustainable Development in the Transformation of Shanghai
    Ecosystems and Sustainable Development V 235 Regeneration and sustainable development in the transformation of Shanghai Y. Chen Department of Real estate and Housing, Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology Abstract Globalisation has had an increasing impact on the transformation of Chinese cities ever since China adopted the open door policy in 1978. Many cities in China have been struggling with the challenges of urban regeneration created by the restructuring of the traditional economy and increasing competition between cities for resources, investment and business. The closure of docks, warehouses and industries, and the deteriorating position of traditional urban centres not only created problems but also created exceptional opportunities to reshape cities and create new functions. But this kind of process also generates a series of physical, economic and social consequences for cities to tackle. In many cases the problems exceed the capacity of the local community to adapt and respond. This paper examines a number of urban regeneration projects in Shanghai, in the hope of providing a better understanding of the process of urban regeneration in China and how best to ensure that such regeneration is sustainable. The paper reassesses the aims of regeneration, the mechanisms involved in the regeneration process and its physical, economic and social consequences, discusses how to achieve sustainable development in urban regeneration and makes recommendations for future action. 1 Introduction Global market forces and increasing globalisation are clearly playing a role in the transformation of cities and towns. In most countries urban systems are experiencing dramatic changes brought about by economic restructuring, continuous mass migration and the arrival of immigrants.

His research interests are urban regeneration and historic precinct revitalization, urban & rural community sustainable development, territorial cultural landscape and Chinese classic gardens. Abstract: Shanghai’s historic lane neighbourhood is a social combination established on residents’ recognition of cultural identity and rights. It has blended into their daily life, shaping their cultural characters, developing the basic tone of Shanghai urban life, and becoming a mainstream living space in Shanghai. Analyzed under the perspective of daily life, Hongkou River area in Shanghai is selected as a case study to identify sustainable means towards equity. Through empirical research, the thesis believes identification of three distinct worlds: Shikumen lane neighbourhood, new-built commodity house district, cultural and creative industrial district, under the collective name of a unified community, apparently exists within the residents’ cognitive map. Accordingly, urban segmentations between the three worlds reflect on the physical differences in entrance guard, architectural type and interactive mode in their daily lives.

  • Dilemma Between Density and Quality: the Demographic History of Sinan Road Area
    The 18th International Planning History Society Conference - Yokohama, July 2018 Dilemma Between Density and Quality: The Demographic History of Sinan Road Area Zhu Kaiyi * * PhD Candidate, Department of Architecture, [email protected] This paper investigates the unique urban planning history and demographic changes in Sinan Road (also named as Rue Massenet) Area of Shanghai and the socioeconomic impacts on local inhabitants’ living quality led by formal and informal planning dynamics. Examining both tangible and intangible characteristics of this area under five different historical phases, this paper indicates that population density and urban quality cannot always be positively or negatively related. Urban quality can reach the maximum value when area population of concentrated density stays in an ideal state, although, as a result of the qualitative variates, such state (peak value) is in suspense. Through analysing the overarching strategic plan of different periods, it also argues that urban quality is not merely dominated by or directly related to density but more by the population’s social demands and their initial interaction with a specific area, active or passive involvement. Keywords: population density, Sinan Road area, historic district, social demands, urban transformation, living quality Introduction The saturation of urban construction in contemporary Chinese metropolises has forced planners to face the inevitable strategy of optimizing housing stock. As a city where urban heritage practices happen frequently, municipal construction and housing departments of Shanghai jointly issued a series of implementation opinions in 1999, to improve and monitor pilot preservation and reconstruction projects of historic buildings and blocks of this city. This turning point has brought a more comprehensive platform of expression in the context of market economy, while enabling multiple values of urban heritage to be fully discovered by varied stakeholders in a new era.

  • Refining and Reappear Shanghai South Bund Revitalization
    Yu Jing Shanghai South Bund Revitalization 47 th ISOCARP Congress 2011 Refining and Reappearance: Shanghai South Bund Revitalization Foreword The functional transform of modern city and the rapid development of information communication make traditional industries of shipping docks and warehouses hollowed out. This makes waterfront area reconstruction imperative. It also brings fresh air to the exploration and development of urban social economy and its functional structure reform. Fuxing Dock of the South Bund, the subject of this article, has gone through its early prosperity, its later decline and the present reform. It serves as a good example to show the development process of all the many waterfront areas of the world. 1. Brief Background Introduction: Interactive Development of Shanghai City and Huangpu River As the biggest river in Shanghai, Huangpu River acted as a natural port and a lifeline of the city at the beginning. This 114-kilometer river originates in the southwest of Shanghai, runs through the whole city and joins Yangtze River at Wusong. Most of the waterfront areas on both banks of Huangpu River resulted from the industrialization of Shanghai from the late 19 th century and the early 20 th century. Docks, factories and warehouses cover most bank lines of the river. With the reconstruction of city industrial structure and city functional structure, these waterfront areas need immediate reforming. In the 1990s, the city of Shanghai crossed Huangpu River and started a new development stage, resulting in the exploitation of Pudong and later the rising of Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone. The outward moving of ports and the adjustment of city industrial structure provide an opportunity to renovating and reforming the waterfront areas on both sides of Huangpu River.
