The methodology of multi-scale integrated analysis of societal metabolism (MSIASM) was employed to study the recent social evolution of Shenyang city. The result showed that from 1978 to 2003 the total inputs of primary industry and secondary industry decreased, while the total inputs of household sector and tertiary industry increased;from 1978 to 1995 the overhead of human activity time decreased, while the same value from 1995 to 2003 increased with the rapid development. This matches the same trend of Shenyang's economic development. Our research findings clearly indicate that both social and economic productivity has significantly increased, namely, the overall social labor productivity, labor productivity in agriculture sector, in manufacturing sector, and in service and government sector increased by 20～30 times. The above results show us that manufacturing industry was the main driver for Shenyang's rapid development.
