中文摘要：

本文以上海老城厢城市景观演变的历史过程为主线，分析了主导这一过程的驱动因素及其相互间的关系。在人为侵占与河浜自然属性的交互作用下，“因浜成路”一直是上海老城厢独具特色的城市扩展方式；19世纪下半叶，传统的环境基础加上西方公共卫生观念的介入，使原来民间层面上的“因浜成路”发展为官方主导下的“填浜筑路”，主干河浜消亡的速度骤然加快。这虽然局部改善了老城厢的市容与卫生状况，却对整体的水网生态和后来的城市环境造成了不利影响。这一过程中的内在规律，恰从区域可持续发展的角度，对城市化进程中人与自然间的耦合关系和互动尺度做出了注解，因而具有一定的启发意义。

英文摘要：

This paper examines the historical process of the urban sight evolvement of the old Shanghai Town, and tries to discover the major driving forces and analyze the relation between them. I have finally reached the following conclusion. Lanes formed on creeks had long been the unique spacial expansion mode of the Old Shanghai Town as a result of human invasion and nature of the creeks. However, in the late of -19th century, based on the traditional environmental condition the Western public health concept was introduced, and together it changed the old creek using with the result of creek-filled-in and road-built-on practised by municipal office. This new land usuage improved the urban sight temporarily, on the other hand, it caused more serious problems with the whole creek ecology. These facts prove the power between human and nature should be balanced on a proper degree, and those have some enlightment in urban planning nowadays.
