Abstract:

One of economic trends in Shanghai during the past ten years was a large-scale adjustment of industrial structure and distribution. The tertiary industry enjoyed a rapid grovrth and the manufacturing industry began to transfer its location from the urban core area to suburbs in large. At the same time Shanghai experienced a marked decentralization of urban population. In the coming ten to twenty years the industrial adjustment and urban population redistribution will still be an important task.

Key words: industrial adjustment, population redistribution
