Zhangjiang Science City is the core carrying area of building a global innovation center in Shanghai. In 2022, the Zhangjiang Science City expanded to 220 square kilometers, its spatial resources increase, while also facing higher demands on functional collaboration and industrial clusters linkage. After the expansion, the original town-level industrial parks within and around the Science City have become important carrying space for innovative industrial clusters. Under the overall innovation system of Zhangjiang, the direction and key elements of town-level parks transformation have to be clarified. Based on town-level parks’ development and main bottlenecks in today, transformation response are proposed. With the case study of Pudong Zhoupu Smart Park’s transformation into industrial communities, strategies are proposed from the aspects of space, industry, service, to explore the form of industrial communities that contribute to the cultivation of industrial and talent innovation ecology.
