The Inevitability Research on the Adjustment of Industrial Structure to Achieve Sustainable Development of the Resource-Based Cities

Abstract

Generally speaking, after the rapid economic development in base of the rich resources, there will inevitably come with the economic downturn which caused by resource exhaustion in resource-based cities. It will be difficult to avoid the phenomenon of “urban decay with the depletion of mineral”, if corresponding countermeasures can not be made timely. In this thesis, we will analysis in-depth to find constraints on the sustainable development in these cities, and point out that we can achieve the sustainable development by the adjustment of industrial structure in these cities. Meanwhile, we will expound and prove the possibility to overcome these constraints from the internal and external of these cities. Finally, we come to the conclusion that it is an inevitable choice to achieve the sustainable development of resource-based cities by the adjustment of industrial structure.
