清末时期的上海是一个瞬息万变的城市。上海的近代化与其古老的商业传统、特殊的政治环境和发达的近代工商业息息相关。上海在近代化过程中逐渐建立起了新的城市公共空间。新的城市空间的建立,反映了在商品经济飞速发展,西方文化影响日益加深的情况下,上海市民的生活习惯和消费意识都发生了明显的转变。 Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty was a rapidly changing city. The modernization of Shanghai is closely linked to its ancient business traditions, its special political environment and the advanced modern industry and commerce. Shanghai gradually established a new urban public space in the process of modernization. The establishment of a new urban space reflects a clear shift in living habits and consumption awareness of Shanghai citizens under the circumstances of the rapid development of commodity economy and the deepening influence of Western culture.
