In this paper, the population change in 1990ps in Beijingps 12 satellite towns are calculated, and a comparing is made between the population changes of the central town of Beijing, municipal districts across China and the new town of Paris. The results indicate that the satellite towns of Beijing have attracted a great number of foreigners but lack appeal to natives, which result in the deviat ion of program object ives in these towns. An explain of the result based on the principles of the Cluster Economy Theory is made, in which it is indicated that population control in the central city of Beijing is sure to be broken, the program object ives of the new towns can not be achieved and priorities should be given to local urbanization in the new towns.
