The result shows that that in Shanghai, as a typical immigrant city, there is strong continuity in the spatial structure model characterized by population sources. A dualistic spatial structure is quite visible. As the main settlement of foreign population and native population, the center of the city is spreading outside with urban sprawl. Mainly occupied by inter-provincial migrants, the suburban ring around the center city is broadening and at the same time retreating to the outer suburb. The urban socio-spatial structure is a comprehensive result of city elite politics, institution segmentation, unique city history and other factors. The analysis of urban socio-spatial structure supported by precise data will help to refine public policies so that they can be adapted to the urban structure transformation. It is necessary to build up a particular analysis framework of socio-spatial structure in accordance with the particularity of the target city.

By studying the practices at Tomb-sweeping Festival in Shanghai in the context of a modern urban society, this paper finds that the customs of Tomb-sweeping Festival in Shanghai are maintained and meanwhile transformed. What is maintained is to express longing and concerns to lost family members at a certain time and what is transformed is the practical forms. With the changes of practical forms, the Tomb-sweeping Festival, which is originally suitable to the agricultural civilization, gradually transforms to a festival suitable to the modern urban civilization. The sacrificial practices of the Tomb-sweeping Festival are gradually intermingled with the urban civilization.

The emergence of original ecological consumption concept has pushed urban consumers to enter a larger consumption space from restaurants located in cities and suburbs to some remote mountain villages, where the space construction of agritainment for urban consumption has been started. Based on the fieldwork in southwest Hubei, this study demonstrates that the space construction in mountain villages has involved material, mental and social dimensions identified by Lefebvre and many local elements such as food, landscapes, plants, animals, residents, buildings, history, and culture as well. All the main features of capitalist space such as homogenization, hierarchization and fragmentation have appeared in agritainment business in mountain villages. Related Articles | Metrics
