Abstract
The historic landscape character in the urban core in Shanghai is still not widely researched because the city continues to be changed. This study analyzes the unchanged of the British settlement which is now located on the Huangpu district by the seven historic maps from 1855 to 2012. Historic landscape Characterisation (Historic landscape assessment) is analyzed by unchanged roads, unchanged blocks, and heritage buildings. As a result, 44% of streets and 15% of blocks were formed until 1855, and total 90% of streets and blocks were originated from 1932 in the research area. Heritages are mostly located between Henan road and the Bund. This paper specifically indicates their locations and their great values to be preserved.
