上海市在过去帝国主义和反动统治下,各项市政设施都是畸形发展,房屋也不例外。劳动人民居住在拥挤不堪的简屋和棚户中,安全和健康受到很大的威协。抗战期间很多房屋毁于炮火未能恢复。解放以来,随着国民经济的恢复与发展,人口逐年增 Under Shanghai’s past imperialist and reactionary rule, all municipal facilities were deformed and houses were no exception. Working people live in overcrowded flats and shanties, and their safety and health are greatly respected. Many houses were destroyed by gunfire during the War of Resistance and failed to recover. Since the liberation, with the restoration and development of the national economy, the population has increased year by year.
