%X This article analyzes Shanghai¡¯s suburban development during the first two Five-Year Plans (1953¨C1962). The development trajectory of Shanghai¡¯s inner suburban industrial zones and satellite towns was shaped by Maoist geopolitics, economic realities, the urban¨Crural nexus, regional spatial strategy, and radical political campaigns. Shanghai¡¯s strategy promoted the homogenization of suburban industrial development and employment patterns, and the city¡¯s suburban industrial zones and satellite towns were subordinate to the central city. The effective functioning of industrial zones and satellite towns was probably secondary to the political goals behind China¡¯s grand development plans and initiatives, which were intended to demonstrate the superiority of socialist industrialization
