Results of empirical analysis show that urban system in the Yangtze Delta belongs to primate distribution and Shanghai is the primate city. The evolution of urban system in the Yangtze Delta is dominated by the self-organization from bottom to top and the superincumbent organization. The results will produce some advices to form a more reasonable urban system.
