Abstract
This paper is to make it clear the development of Road and Land of the English Settlement of Shanghai in Modern ages. So that We paid attention on the village's constituent as Foot path and creek which existed in Shanghai before it developed as Foreign Settlement, and the roles they played in City Development during 1845-66. On development of road, we found Foot Paths and Creeks on the「Map of Shanghai of 1849」, but until 1866, all of those were built as roads, and the net of those were absorbed as the grid-shaped street of English Settlement. And we found the way of the formation of the grid-shaped street of shanghai. About Land Development, Before Streets built, Foreign Merchants rent lands which located along the Foot Paths or creeks. And because of Sprawl land development, The English Committee built the official streets after the land development by Foreign developers. From the fact of road and land development, English Settlement was thought developed based on the old Shanghai's village constituent.
