当时,上海市中心大部分地区为公共租界和法租界管辖,而上海市政府的所在地却在偏远的枫林桥地区。为了改变市府处于枫林桥一隅之困境,当局提出了《大上海计划》,欲搬迁市府有效地连接闸北、上海县城等华界区域。 At that time, most of Shanghai’s downtown was governed by the Public Settlements and the French Concession, while the Shanghai municipal government was located in the remote Maple Bridge area. In order to change the dilemma that the municipality is at the corner of Mapleridge Bridge, the authorities proposed the “Greater Shanghai Plan” in order to relocate the municipality to effectively connect the Chinese areas such as Zhabei and Shanghai’s county cities.
