Abstract
After World War II, unprecedented and positive industrialization and urban construction were launched in lots of developing countries all over the world. Meanwhile, more and more far-reaching planning theories and technological achievements emerged. In this study, we combed the development process of the industrial base planning pattern created by the Soviet Union in the 1950s, summarized its main theoretical and technical contents and its transfer to Northeast China, and revealed the absorption and innovation of this planning pattern in three import industrial cities built in the 1950s in Northeast China. Based on the spatial syntax theory and technology, the practice of three representative industrial bases’ planning patterns was deeply analyzed. A comparative study on the theoretical and technical fit planning level among the three bases was implemented from the two aspects of the extension of different functional spatial modules and the connection and accessibility of the road axis. It was finally found that the planning pattern of the new industrial base of a single plant had more advantages of functional support and road accessibility in spatial morphology. The conclusion of this study not only generated great historical value for combing the history of contemporary industrial urban planning in China but is also a significant reference for the sustainable development of the industrial cities in Northeast China.

In order to improve the sustainability of these industrial bases, in this study, we introduced spatial syntax technology to conduct a quantitative analysis of functional modules and road axes, revealing the origin of the defects of the Soviet
The theoretical basis of spatial syntax is established upon the analysis of spatial visual connection in the previous urban planning theory and a deep study on the factors of people’s perception of space
Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. The spatial morphology of industrial cities in Northeast China was deeply influenced by the Soviet Union’s industrial base planning theory and technology in the 1950s. 1953 to 1957, under the industrial aid of the Soviet Union, a large number of giant industrial bases attached to the main railways were built in the suburban areas of the original cities [1]. With the completion and running of these industrial bases, two positive changes emerged
