近代长春城市面貌的形成与特征，1900-1957

1900年以来，长春经历了快速的城市化和近代化过程，其城市功能发生了三次转变：从边疆集镇发展到铁路城市，再变为伪满的“政治中心”城市空间，最后通过“一五”建设成为综合性的工业城市。在不同历史阶段，“现代化”和“现代性”的定义和表达各不相同。梳理长春近代以来的发展历史，有助于指导长春今天的保护规划。

The Making Of Modern Changchun: A Brief History, 1900-1957

Changchun underwent drastic urbanization through different modernizing efforts since 1900. The nature of the city changed three times: from a frontier town through a railway city to a colonial capital, and was finally turned into a socialist industrial city.  As such, modernity is not a constant but subject to changing political and cultural circumstances, and should be conceived as a cultural artifact that manifests itself in the built environment.  The historical study of Changchun’s urban development helps to guide contemporary preservation in Changchun.
