Shanghai has decided to build nearly 80,000 square meters of large-scale residential areas and living facilities for large state-owned enterprises such as Shanghai Electric Machinery Factory, Shanghai Heavy Machinery Factory and Shanghai Steam Turbine Factory, one of which is to build the famous Minhang Street. 1959 The street building and neighborhood planning scheme of Minhang No.1 Road was the first overall street building scheme after the liberation of Shanghai, which was designed by a group of designers led by Mr. Wang Dingsheng. In April of that year, the first-phase residential building broke ground, and the residential buildings on both sides of Minhang No.1 Road (later renamed Jiangchuan Road) were successively completed on June 65438+1 October1day, with 4-5 floors of commercial and residential buildings with a total area of 72,900 square meters.
