摘要

本文研究了现已消失的上海有轨电车的短期和长期经济后果。有轨电车是 1908 年至 20 世纪 30 年代上海的主要交通工具,一直运营到 1975 年。通过对历史地籍图和当前谷歌地图上有轨电车线路的地理定位,文章发现,有轨电车开通后,相对于远离有轨电车线路的地块,靠近有轨电车线路的地块的土地价值增长幅度更大,交通成本的降低导致土地价值梯度与中心商业区(CBD)的距离趋于平缓。研究还发现,即使在最后一条有轨电车轨道拆除近五十年后,有轨电车仍在影响着当前的城市土地价值模式。这种持续的影响在很大程度上可以用有轨电车线路附近的后续设施来解释。本文发现的证据表明,上海的有轨电车在其鼎盛时期通过提高从远处通往中央商务区的可达性促进了分散化,并通过经济活动的私人和公共协调的相互促进影响了现代行为。

Transportation, decentralization, and path dependence: How did the old tramway shape Shanghai, China?

This article studies the short- and long-run economic consequences of the now-extinct Shanghai tramway. Tramway was the primary mode of transportation in Shanghai between 1908 and the 1930s, continuing to operate until 1975. With the geolocation of the tramway lines on both historical cadastral maps and current Google maps, the article finds that after the arrival of the tramway, land lots close to the tramway lines experienced a larger increase in land value relative to those far away from the tramway lines, and that the reduction in transportation costs led to a flattening land value gradient with respect to distance from the central business district (CBD). It also finds that the tramway still influences the current pattern of urban land value, even nearly fifty years after the removal of the last tramway track. Such persistent influence can be largely explained by the follow-on amenities near the tramway lines. The evidence found in this article suggests that the tramway in Shanghai promoted decentralization by enhancing accessibility to the CBD from distant locations in its heyday, and influences modern behaviors through the mutually reinforced private and public coordination of economic activities.
