| 摘 要： | The Shanghai Master Plan(2017—2035) clearly states that building a global city with excellence has become the direction of its efforts in recent decades which requires Shanghai to become an important global node in the global city network structure like New York and London. Based on the space of flow theory, this paper uses the interlocking network model of Globalization and World Cities(GaWC) to calculate connective index of 48 cities whose level is alpha and above in GaWC's researches. There are still many gaps between Shanghai and other top global cities such as New York, London and Tokyo. Through the calculation of Theil Entropy, the importance ranking of the factors affecting Shanghai's status in the global city network is obtained. The results show that the proportion of foreign population, the number of sister cities, the number of headquarters of multinational corporations and the proportion of GDP in the whole country significantly affect Shanghai's status in the global city network.
