HIST5502 中國近代史特別專題：城市空間的塑造及內涵

課程簡介

本課程旨在討論清至民國中國城市的轉變及空間的重塑。明清中國城市以城墻為主要標誌塑造城市空間，並有與歐洲城市不同的治理邏輯和運作模式。至十九世紀末，中國的交通網絡由水路轉向鐵路，不同城市重新定位，城市內在空間開始轉向以馬路為基礎。同時伴隨國家和社會大變革，城市在國家中的地位更加重要，管理城市的機構日趨專業。西方城市規劃對此時期的城市空間改造影響深遠，城市管理者進行大規模的市政建設，重新規劃城市空間。在這一過程中，也出現了不同勢力之間的博弈，誰能管理和規劃城市成為重要的議題。由於城市空間的轉變，生活在其中的民眾生活也出現變化，城市職能和內涵被重新塑造。本課程將梳理這一歷史時期城市空間的發展脈絡，以理解城市重新定位和塑造的過程。

Attention is drawn to University policy and regulations on honesty in academic work, and to the disciplinary guidelines and procedures applicable to breaches of such policy and regulations. Details may be found at http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/.

With each assignment, students will be required to submit a signed declaration that they are aware of these policies, regulations, guidelines and procedures.

• In the case of group projects, all members of the group should be asked to sign the declaration, each of whom is responsible and liable to disciplinary actions, irrespective of whether he/she has signed the declaration and whether he/she has contributed, directly or indirectly, to the problematic contents.
• For assignments in the form of a computer-generated document that is principally text-based and submitted via VeriGuide, the statement, in the form of a receipt, will be issued by the system upon students’ uploading of the soft copy of the assignment.

Assignments without the properly signed declaration will not be graded by teachers.

Only the final version of the assignment should be submitted via VeriGuide.

The submission of a piece of work, or a part of a piece of work, for more than one purpose (e.g. to satisfy the requirements in two different courses) without declaration to this effect shall be regarded as having committed undeclared multiple submissions. It is common and acceptable to reuse a turn of phrase or a sentence or two from one’s own work; but wholesale reuse is problematic. In any case, agreement from the course teacher(s) concerned should be obtained prior to the submission of the piece of work.
