This research focused on the urban development conducted by English and Japanese in Shanghai and made the urban progress of Modern Shanghai clear. First, the authors found that English developed their land and road on the basic of footpath or creek which existed in old Shanghai before it was developed as a foreign settlement. Then, Japanese government and companies advanced into Shanghai after the NISHIN battle. But Meiji Japan was forced to abandon founding the "Shanghai Japanese settlement", the rights for urban development in Shanghai were obtained by negotiating with the Chinese government. In fact, the Japanese considered location, traffic conditions, and land values and they succeeded in their planning of urban facilities in the Shanghai Settlement. But residence couldn't be constructed. Therefore, many Japanese lived in North Szechuen Road area, which was far from the settlement area. This study demonstrates that in order to create Japanese-Style life, Japanese always took "TATAMI" into their homes although they rented from English owners.
