从上海服务“一带一路”高质量发展角度看，上海需要不断提升自身发展能级。上海“十四五”规划建议提出，要全面增强“四大功能”。作为提升城市核心功能的重要政策抓手，新发展格局下，“四大功能”应有新的功能和内涵定位，提升“四大功能”在上海改革中的统领性，突出其作为上海城市核心功能的改革内涵。开放枢纽门户功能作为“四大功能”的重要组成部分，能够推动上海“一带一路”“桥头堡”功能的系统性重塑和整体性提升。当前，上海需要从新发展阶段和新发展格局的高度，以“四大功能”为系统架构，以系统理念为指引，通过制度型开放促进高端生产要素集聚并探索相应制度设计。
From the perspective of better serving the High Quality Development of the Belt and Road Initiative，Shanghai should first strengthen its development power. According to the blueprint of Fourteenth Five Year Plan of Shanghai，which will set the agenda of the local economic and social development in the forthcoming period of 2021-2025，that Shanghai will make comprehensive efforts in strengthening its role of “Four Functions” in the new development pattern stage，which is also defined as dual-circulation mode. Under the new development pattern，the Gateway Open Hub as one of the “Four Functions” needs to be empowered with extraordinary new functions and contents. It is necessary to rethink its policy connections with other opening-up mechanism with a systematic thought，and finally to reshape and upgrade Shanghai’s previous Bridgehead Role in the BRI. Shanghai，at current stage，needs a new mindset to consolidate and upgrade its position in promoting high-end resource gathering，high-level market system，facilitating economic factors internationalization etc.
