近代传统城市形态变迁中的路网改造——以宁波城厢为例

Redevelopment of Traffic Network in the Setting of Traditional Urban Form: A Case Study of Ningbo Old City

清末民初,随着西方市政观念传入以及租界城市建设的示范,近代意义上的市政建设逐渐在中国的传统城市中展开。作为宁波城厢市政建设重点的路网改造始于20世纪20年代,20世纪30年代初取得明显成效。通过拆城筑路、填河扩路、规划拆让等手段,传统城市的内部空间形态发生了极大变化。相较于通过筑路来引导城市空间发展的租界模式,宁波等中国传统城市虽力求以租界为范本,但实际只能因地制宜。城市型政区的设立不一定能够促进市政建设的大发展,反而有可能因为巨大的市政经费来源问题而导致城市的近代转型举步维艰。

At the turn of the Twentieth century,Western municipal concepts and theories were gradually introduced into China along with the examples set by treaty port cities.Some traditional cities formed in the dynastic time also began to carry out modern municipal constructions.In this study,we take Ningbo old city as a typical case and focus on three ways of road improvements in the 1920s and 1930s:the demolition of the city wall,the filling of rivers and the removal of residential buildings.Based on earlier studies,we use large-scale old maps and local gazettes to restore and analyze the river channels and road networks.It shows that for the traditional cities in China,due to the lack of motivation and capital,even if the urban administrative districts had been set up,it might not be able to promote the conditions.On the contrary,it caused many social problems especially during the expropriation of construction land.
