When was Guangzhou established?

192 1 02 15, Guangzhou municipal government office was changed to municipal government, and Guangzhou was formally established. Sun Ke was appointed director of the city hall. Sun Ke received a university education in the United States, and was very interested in urban planning and attached importance to municipal construction. After returning home, he wrote a monograph on urban planning. He believes that the work of the former municipal office is limited to demolishing the city and clearing the way, which is too simple and the overall planning is not comprehensive. He suggested that a new system should be established to organize the modern urban municipal system, and the establishment of the new system should be fully authoritative. On the night of accepting the appointment of the municipal director, I tried my best to draft Article 57 of the Provisional Regulations of Guangzhou. In mid-February, the regulations were passed by the provincial government and promulgated and implemented. According to the provisional regulations, the head of the municipal government was renamed as the mayor, and Chen Jiongming, commander-in-chief and governor of Guangdong Army, appointed Sun Ke as the first mayor of Guangzhou.

After Sun Ke took office, he planned and managed the municipal construction in Guangzhou according to the Provisional Regulations of Guangzhou, and approved the Draft Outline of Guangzhou Urban Planning drafted by the Works Bureau. At that time, the main task of Guangzhou municipal construction was still to continue the action of the municipal office, demolish the city walls, fill trenches, move houses, build roads, and open up branches and Xiguan Road in the city. As the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government has just been established, the financial situation is very difficult. Municipal construction costs are all raised by the city hall. The cost of opening the branch road in the city was allocated by the patent fee paid by the tram company organized at that time, and the cost of opening Xiguan Road was shared by the shop owners along the road.

Sun Ke was the first mayor of Guangzhou until July 1992. In this one and a half years, the city wall of about 10 km was demolished, the old canal of 1300 m was filled, more than 3,000 houses were demolished, and Wanfu Road, Taikang Road, Yide Road, Taiping Road, Fengning Road, Dade Road and Yuexiu Road were built on the basis of the old city wall. The road construction project was blocked by various forces, and Sun Ke personally came forward to do the work. The "Nine Great Mercies Hall" and 72 businessmen and gentlemen jointly opposed the demolition of double doors and the removal of "copper pots dripping" on doorways under the pretext of destroying geomantic omen, and encouraged people to hold lantern demonstrations at night. Sun Ke called the directors to explain in detail, and promised to move the "copper pot dripping water" to Haizhu Park, which calmed the commotion. When the West City was demolished, the commercial director of Xiguan, worried that the demolition would damage his own commercial interests, provoked demonstrations again on the grounds that the demolition would flood Xiguan. At that time, Sun Ke was also the supervisor of river regulation in Guangdong. In order to prevent the western and northern rivers from flooding Xiguan, a foreign engineer, Moore Oliver Crona, was hired to design and build a new movable sluice in Sanshui. He held another forum to let Kone explain, and the situation slowed down. Widening the long dike and the west dike requires the Ji Bo hospital run by the church to dismantle the fence and make way for it. The vice consul of the US Consulate went to the city hall to ask for a meeting and threatened Sun Ke. If the demolition order is not revoked, the American gunboats moored in White Swan Pool will bomb the city hall within a limited time. Sun Ke ignored his harsh words and immediately informed the Works Bureau to negotiate with the Finance Bureau and Ji Bo Hospital, promising to compensate the hospital for its losses, and the matter was resolved.

In the long run, in addition to road construction, Sunke First City has cleaned ditches 126, with a length of 53 kilometers, and hired more than 1000 cleaners to clean and carry garbage regularly. The urban area is divided into six health communities, each supervised by five people. In terms of public utilities, the general post office and the municipal library were established. There are also measures in public security, unified management of public places and public education.

1923 February to 1924 September, Sun Ke was re-elected as the mayor of Guangzhou. At that time, he was one of the important officials who presided over the party affairs of the Kuomintang Central Committee, and he was too busy to take care of the municipal construction, but he still provided experienced experts for the municipal councils to continue the construction. In terms of transportation, build a cement road of 2 kilometers; Public health, regularly send experts to check drinking water to prevent infectious diseases; In terms of public utilities, Dongshan Park has been built and Yuexiu Park is planned.

From June 1926 to May 1927, Sun Ke served as mayor for less than a year. During this period, the National Government organized the Northern Expedition, and it was difficult to raise financial funds. Many municipal planning projects failed to be implemented, but nearly 3 kilometers of asphalt pavement streets were still laid.
