For recent years, the important role that innovation network played in the cluster of industry development has been recognized gradually. So many academicians begin to call on cultivating local innovation networks of industry cluster. In the existing literature, the hot research mostly focus on formal-cooperation relationship baste on the contract between innovation subjects, including the system-arrangement and policy- constitution which influent the innovation networks seriously. It cannot be denied that formal innovation network plays the most important role in the cluster of industry development, and leading the developing direction of innovation district. But some informal connection, such as social relationship, informal connection concealing in the innovation network and concentrating some informal-network relationship, also can promoting the innovation network development strongly. As a complementary form of formal innovation network, the informal innovation network plays a part in promoting cooperation between innovation subjects, circulating tacit knowledge, inspiring innovating thought. And its exterior representation is the informal connection activity between subjects in the innovation district. According to the informal communication, the innovation subjects can make closer cooperating relations in the innovation network, so that to inspiring the innovating activity and promoting the industry cluster development.This research takes the informal innovation network and informal communication as research objects, put Yangpu district in Shanghai as an example, analyze the interrelationship between local informal innovation network and industry cluster,; then trying to find the development defect in local informal innovation network form the innovation environment viewpoint; at last, based on the data, fromthe view of physical environment construction of the district------urban function andspace design, discussing the way to induce informal communication and promote the development of informal innovation network.
