Besides commodities and business formats , the most impressive thing is the style of the building and the decoration of the street scene. The street profile buildings in the Bund section pay attention to individuality, forming a collage scene effect. The neoclassical walls and Baroque pediment walls alone are colorful, including English, Italian, French, Spanish and so on. For example, the new eclectic style of Hui Luo Company, the neo-baroque clear red brick walls and flat coupons of Huisi Company and Liji Matheson, the alternating red brick and white walls and Indian-style lateral colonnades of Huizhong Hotel, the Sassoon Building The American Art Deco shapes and green domes are examples of architecture with distinctive personalities.

Pavement

Pavement is an important component of street outline.

Over the past century, the pavement of the Bund section has experienced a succession from sand to cinder, from iron wood bricks to asphalt, from "cement" (concrete) to stone floor tiles. The change of materials records the changes of the times. The road line shape has changed from a polyline to a curved one, and the street profile and skyline have gradually changed from flat to undulating. From mainly four-slope roofs, to more and more flat roofs with local pediments and domes. The height-to-width ratio between buildings and streets is also constantly changing. Corresponding to the third phase of the Bund waterfront interface, the width of Nanjing Road expanded from 6 meters at the beginning to about 12 meters later, and the street-facing buildings mainly rose from the second floor. to the sixth floor and above. The height-to-width ratio of the street space also changed from an average of 1:1 at the beginning to 2:1 later, and finally even reached more than 3:1 in some places. As early as 1856, the concession authorities had made strict regulations on the road boundaries (equivalent to road red lines) for buildings to set back, but the buildings facing the street were never neat and uniform.

Decoration

In addition to buildings and pavement, street profiles also need other decorative elements. Commercial "attire" such as street lights, signboards, covers, trademarks, advertisements, and even pedestrian clothing and posture characteristics that reflect fashion, these elements together form the scene of the street profile. The Bund section is subject to Western streetscape rules. The "outfits" are generally placed under the eaves and on the lintel, and the distance from the wall is strictly limited. Street lamps are most popular with iron flower decorations of the Art Nouveau movement. Other sections of the road are mostly decorated in Chinese style. Business banners can be placed across the street, signboards and covers are allowed to be carried from a distance, and the streetscape is decorated like a stage curtain.
