Shanghai is the first city in China to be implanted with western urban management concepts and systems. In July 1854, the Ministry of Industry was established, which opened the prelude to the institutionalized management of the concession.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as the municipal administrative organization of local autonomy in the real sense of the concession, comprehensively governs public affairs in the whole concession by virtue of the rights conferred by the Shanghai Land Charter and its supplementary provisions.

Its initially established administrative system has been continuously developed and improved in the hundred years of Shanghai Concession, and has always maintained unity and consistency. Shanghai Concession is also the earliest place where China transplanted modern rule of law.

Concession, as a de facto "state within a state", has its own legislative subject and power. The legal system, legal structure, trial system, lawyer system and prison system, which embody the modern legal system, all first appeared in the Shanghai Concession.

Shanghai Concession, as a frontier area devastated by European style and beautiful rain, has formed a distinctive colonial, mixed and modern concession culture in its development process.

Foreigners in the Concession brought many advanced western material cultures, institutional cultures, lifestyles and values into the Concession, forming a process in which western culture was gradually understood, accepted, imitated and adopted in Shanghai.

1853 before and after the uprising of the filial piety society, a large number of Chinese poured into the concession to take refuge, which broke the pattern of "Chinese and foreign divided rule" and formed the situation of "Chinese and foreign mixed place" and "five parties mixed place". Immigrants from different cultural backgrounds gathered in the concession, which provided soil for the cultivation of new culture.

Concession culture is a culture gradually recognized by immigrants in the history of concession. Modern immigrant culture characterized by openness, tolerance, innovation and enterprising has deeply influenced the urban spirit of Shanghai 100 years.
