Abstract: Allocation of Shanghai region industrial knowledge bases affects on the construction of the region innovative ability and the direction of industrial innovation. The paper builds the measurement model and index of allocation of industrial knowledge bases, and studies empirically the industrial knowledge bases allocation of Shanghai entire industries, six key development industries and every district industries. The conclusions are as follows. On the whole, Shanghai belongs to the type of hybrid knowledge base allocation, and its analytical knowledge base allocation is slightly better than synthetic knowledge base allocation. However, Shanghai must improve the proportion of analytic knowledge base allocation because of the goal of global S&T innovation center. From the perspective of every district, Xuhui, Minhang and Songjiang belong to the type of analytical knowledge base allocation, however, the manufactures of Xuhui District should be transferred to other regions. Yangpu, Baoshan, Jiading, Jinshan, Qingpu, Fengxian and Chongming belong to synthetic knowledge base allocation, however, the development orientation of Yangpu District should be modern service industry. Pudong New District is the type of hybrid knowledge base, it should be the representative of Shanghai in the future.
