This paper is to make it clear the system of road and drainage's development of the English Settlement in Shanghai which was opened as trading port in 1842. The Foreigner developers borrowed lands from Chinese and developed their offices, mansions or multifamily houses before the official street built. The uncontrolled land-develop, however, had brought many urban problems. For example, the road-width couldn't meet the traffic, and the ponds of polluted water often found at the roadside because the drainage hadn't be provided in time. Additional, the Municipal Council of English Settlement which was the department of city planning was found just in 1854, so in the period of 1854〜1866, its finance was not very healthy. With those urban problems and the financial difficulties, how the Municipal Council planed the infrastructure? We found that the Directors of the Municipal Council often negotiated with the foreigner developers and asked them to take back their walls of houses, or to provide lands to construct road. As to get better living environment, those foreigners cooperated with the government, such as contributing lands for planning the roads or paid the money to maintain the drainages. So the conclusion is that the Municipal Council was master of the English Settlement planning and the foreigner developers was its supporters. That is the character of the development of Shanghai English Settlement during the period of the 1854-1866.
