This article considers urban planning and urban transformation in Chengdu 成都 before and after the 1911 Revolution (辛亥革命). During the Qing 清 period, “The Banner Garrison” (the bannermans’ quarter; 満城) had been an area of heterogeneous Chengdu city separated geographically from the Han Chinese quarter by a wall. Banner Garrison was not influenced at first by the multi-faceted New Politics (新政) of Zhou Shanpei 周善培 who carried out many-sided policies in Chengdu. It did undergo ar adical change, however, when Shaocheng 少城 Park was constructed in the southeast area of Banner Garrison in 1910, and when after the 1911 Revolution, it was incorporated into the Han Chinese quarter.Shaocheng Park was founded with a view to increasing fiscal revenue, so it was intended as an entertainment spot for Han Chinese, rather than a place to integrate the Manchu and Han citizenry. Furthermore, after the 1911 Revolution, many Han Chinese rapidly moved into all parts of the Banner Garrison area. In response to this trend, the authorities promote a series of “back-to-Chinese” policies, including demolishing the wall and changing street names. Foreigners were prohibited to reside in the area, and in Shaocheng Park, a monument mourning the fallen soldiers of the 1911 Revolution was erected and an exhibition hall for promoting commerce and industry was built. In this respect, it seems apparent that the old Banner Garrison was intentionally transformed for the purpose of nationalistic development. Moreover, from the government’s point of view, such development was not to be laissez-faire in character, but more controlled and systematic.Viewed in this light, urban planning during the era in question can be regarded as an attempt to refashion the spatial structure in order to realize a more accurate plan, more progressive than planning during the New Politics era－planning to cope with the existing socioeconomic order.
