近代外商在上海设租界买地的初期,首先看重的是土地的贸易功能,码头、仓库、运输要冲等地段最早被高价买下,其他地段则价格甚低。但随着城市化的进程,虽然工业、金融业还不是很发达,但城市的综合功能,包括居住、消费、服务等渐渐开发出来,土地的需求也从主要是贸易功能单一取向向城市功能的综合取向演化。各个区域间的价格差异扩大,而发展较为成熟的地区内的地价差距开始缩小。作为租界市政管理机构的工部局,采取市场经济方式购地筑路,并伴随城市综合功能的开发,购地修建除道路外的其他各种公共品。 In the early days when the foreign merchants set up their concessions in Shanghai, the first thing they valued was the trade function of the land. The first parts of the land, such as terminals, warehouses and transportation hubs, were bought at high prices, while the prices in other areas were very low. However, with the process of urbanization, although the industrial and financial sectors are not yet well-developed, the comprehensive functions of the city, including living, consumption and service, have been gradually developed. The demand for land has also shifted from being mainly a single function of trade function to an urban function Synthetic orientation evolution. The price differences between the various regions have expanded, while the land price gap in the more mature regions has started to shrink. As a municipal administration of the concession, the Municipal Bureau of Labor and Municipal Affairs adopts a market economy approach to purchase land for road construction. With the development of integrated urban functions, various public goods other than roads are purchased and constructed.
