Abstract
This paper examines factors affecting economic development and changes in the industrial and spatial structure in Shanghai since the 1950s. Although economic development in Shanghai has advanced considerably, the city faces serious challenges. In the process of industrialization, the spatial evolution of industrial location can be divided into three stages: (1) the founding of industrial estates, (2) the construction of satellite towns, and (3) rural industrialization. All have changed the urban spatial structure of Shanghai. As a result of large-scale housing construction, the spatial distribution of residents in the central city of Shanghai has changed, and a process of suburbanization is emerging.Keywords
