【原】仅留了一张皮的金陵东路骑楼

 前段时间看到朋友发了一张金陵东路上已经成为一张皮的骑楼，于是特意去飞了一段，好久没去，这地方变化很大，部分有归属的土地开始抓紧施工了，那些暂时没有归属的也被包裹了起来，看上去有点怪异。

 我早在中央商场修缮过程中仅仅保留一张皮的方式写过文章：#老寿眼中的上海#热水瓶换胆后的中央商场，当时就预测到这种方式会有所蔓延，因为北苏州河路甘肃路一侧也在进行类似的施工，果不其然，金陵东路上我们又见到了相似的一幕。

  2022年6月份从福建南路人民路看过去的角度，那个五层楼的水塔还健在。

   当时还留了一堵墙，借给剧组拍电影不错。

 关于金陵东路的骑楼，大家都明白这不单单是一个屋檐，因为它原来是后面沿街建筑的一部分，也许原有的建筑并不完美，也不一定符合现在建筑等级或消防之类的要求，但是它肯定是骑楼原有的一个完整形态。

 现在把它剥离成一张皮和那些称之为落架后“复建”的老建筑有什么区别？

 可以预计从浙江南路附近这样的方式会被复刻到金陵东路的其他路段，届时曾经的金陵东路骑楼也就面目全非了。

 特别需要指出的是金陵东路福建南路一侧曾经是“新青年”杂志总发行所，（金陵东路279号的新青年社总发行所。1920年8月15日《劳动界》周刊创刊号出版，封面上标明：“总经售处上海法租界大自鸣钟对面新青年社”。许多史学界学者认为，这是“新青年社”这一名称第一次与公众见面。）

  从下图可以看到这一截算是留下来，但是还能与原来的氛围吻合吗？

  现在从不同角度看过去，福建南路金陵东路保留的建筑范围已经很小了。

 如今作为新青年杂志编辑部的南昌路100弄已经修缮一新，那么同为黄浦区的金陵东路上的总发行所最终会如何？

 我们在以往的城市改造中已经拆除了太多具有历史价值的建筑物，如今在很多人都开始有这份意识的状态下还会发生这样的事情真的太遗憾了。

Preserving the Essence of Jinling East Road's Arcade

Recently, I came across a photo shared by a friend showcasing an arcade on Jinling East Road that had been stripped down to its bare bones. Intrigued by this transformation, I decided to take a stroll down memory lane. It had been a while since I last visited, and the changes were striking. Land that had found its rightful owners was bustling with construction activity, while those areas still in limbo were shrouded in wraps, presenting an eerie sight.

I recall writing an article during the refurbishment of the Central Market, where only the facade was preserved, titled "#Shanghai through the Eyes of the Elderly: The Central Market After a Facelift." Back then, I foresaw this trend spreading, as similar construction work was underway on the north side of Gansu Road along the Suzhou River. True to my prediction, a similar scene unfolded on Jinling East Road.

The arcades of Jinling East Road hold significance beyond mere rooftops; they are integral parts of the street-facing structures. While the original buildings might not have been flawless or compliant with modern building regulations or fire safety standards, they were undeniably essential components of the arcade's original form.

Now, as these arcades are stripped down to their bare bones, how do they differ from the so-called "reconstructed" old buildings post-demolition?

It is foreseeable that this approach, seen near Zhejiang South Road, will extend to other sections of Jinling East Road, ultimately transforming the once iconic arcades beyond recognition.

Of particular note is the former headquarters of the "New Youth" magazine on the Fujian South Road side of Jinling East Road. The building, located at 279 Jinling East Road, served as the magazine's central distribution hub. It was here, on August 15, 1920, that the inaugural issue of the "Labor World" weekly was published, bearing the label: "General Sales Office, New Youth Society, across from the Grand Clock of the Shanghai French Concession." Many scholars in the field of history consider this the first public appearance of the name "New Youth Society."

Today, the revamped editorial office of the "New Youth" magazine on 100 Nanchang Road stands as a testament to preservation. Why then has the former distribution center on Jinling East Road in Huangpu District not received similar attention?

In our urban redevelopment endeavors, we have witnessed the demolition of numerous historically significant structures. It is truly regrettable that such events continue to occur, especially at a time when many are awakening to the importance of preserving our architectural heritage.
