Study on the Influences of Industry Transformation on the Sustainable Development of Resource-Exhausted City Space

Abstract

Resource-exhausted cities, a special type of cities relying heavily on resource economy, take on some distinct characteristics in the development of industrial structure and urban space. The resource-oriented industrial structure has determined the loose and mixed layout of urban space, the structural imbalance of major functional land use, the crisscrossing pattern of towns and villages and the unreasonable spatial development sequence. The existing urban spatial pattern can no longer meet the demand of urban development. Considering that the evolution of the spatial structure of resource-exhausted cities is a slow process lagging behind industrial transformation, this paper analyzes the industrial transformation manifested in urban spatial structure and reveals the mechanism through which the industrial transformation affect the sustainable development of urban space, so as to provide guidance to improve the coordination and harmony of urban spatial structure and industrial structure, further promote the smooth transformation of resource-exhausted cities and achieve the sustainable development.
