【文化纪录片】-上海石库门弄堂·西成里纪实·弄堂住户采访 DOCUMENTARY：Old Shanghai Lane-Shikumen
上海的弄堂有着悠久的历史与文化的渊源，她是这个城市的血脉，她是这个城市的源头，多少英雄豪杰，文人墨客，多少千古风流人物从中走出。她是上海的重要组成部分，她是最真实上海的写照，承载着多少人的美好记忆。
曾有几时，多少个故事，多少位名人，多少次寻寻觅觅恩恩怨怨点点滴滴在石库门里，在亭子间中，在弄堂深处发生。她象征着一个时代的逝去，她是岁月的见证，从昔日到现在，历经了一个多世纪的变迁。或许对今天很多年轻人来说，“弄堂”这个名字已经成为一个符号，成为一个熟悉而又陌生的名词。可以说，没有弄堂，就没有今天的上海人，更没有大上海。
如今，数不胜数的弄堂已经消失在地平线。也许不久的将来，弄堂文化终将成为一段再也回不去的历史。让我们一起珍惜她，热爱她！

Shikumen
Shikumen are unique to Shanghai and were designed as part chinese courtyard style houses and part western terraced houses. They were built in the 20's and 30's when the city had to cope with sudden influxes of Chinese and foreign refugees during periods of upheaval outside the city. Designed as single family residences they were packed after World War II with a family per room.
The city is now trying to preserve some by reducing the numbers who live in them. They also make good short cuts for pedestrians, motorbikes and cyclists.

Walking Around Xintiandi in Shanghai
Xintiandi / 新天地 (New Heaven and Earth / New World) is an affluent car-free shopping, eating and entertainment district of Shanghai. The district is composed of an area of reconstituted traditional mid-19th century shikumen (stone gate) houses on narrow alleys, some adjoining houses which now serve as book stores, cafes and restaurants, and shopping malls. Most of the cafes and restaurants feature both indoor and outdoor seating. Xintiandi has an active nightlife on weekdays as well as weekends, though romantic settings are more common than loud music and dance places. It is considered one of the first lifestyle centers in China. It is also the most expensive place to live in China, with some apartments costing more than Tokyo, New York and London. It is home to the Chinese elite and top executive expats.
Xintiandi is the location of the site of the first congress of the Communist Party of China, now preserved at the Museum of the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. Also nearby are the Shikumen Open House Museum and the site of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea when Korea was a Japanese colony.
The area was developed by Shui On Land during the re-development of the surrounding area. Some houses in Xintiandi were then demolished and rebuilt (not merely renovated, which was the term used officially by the Chinese government and the real estate agencies[3]), in order to implant an art gallery, cafes, and restaurants. Many tour groups both domestic and from abroad also visit Xintiandi as one of the main attractions in Shanghai.
The Xintiandi redevelopment was designed by Benjamin T. Wood and Nikken Sekkei International. The urban renewal is considered one of the first examples of the placemaking approach in China.)
This construction displaced 3,500 Shanghainese families.
The closest Shanghai Metro stations in the vicinity are South Huangpi Road Station (on Line 1), and Xintiandi Station (on Line 10).
From Shikumen to Shanghai Animation Film
Shanghai | Tianzifang.m4v
Slideshow on Shanghai. A photographic glimpse into the depilating state of life inside Shanghai's shikumen. Photos were taken en route to Tianzifang on Taikang Rd.
Tianzifang on the other hand is a mixture of foreign restaurants, art galleries and living shikumen residents in a bohemian maze of narrow alleys. Here you'll find small boutiques shops inside refurbished units, mostly occupying the ground level. Residential is mostly on the upper floors.

‘Shikumen’ Lane Houses Are Being Torn Down Across Shanghai
My name is Cody Ellingham, I am a photographer and nightcrawler from New Zeland. The aging and ornately beautiful ‘Shikumen’ lane houses are being torn down across Shanghai, and I set out on a mission to capture the historic streets before it’s too late.
I have embarked on a project to explore the disappearing communal Shikumen lane houses unique to Shanghai’s oldest districts, as part of his Shanghai Streets series.
