Abstract
The transformation of resource-based cities, a worldwide problem, is a broad, cross-cutting and complex issue, which involves many fields of economics, sociology, geography, mining science and ecology. Therefore, the development of resource-based cities in China has been a top priority among researchers. In this paper, the author will work out the best pattern and path of resource-based cities by researching on transition modes, approaches and policies.
Highlights
Resource-based cities develop on the basis of natural resources
Industrial transformation is inevitable for the sustainable development of resource-based cities
As a starting point in resource-based urban characteristics, through new industrialization, high technical industrial scale, modern urban services, characteristics of peri-urban agriculture and equipment manufacturing group and the adjustment of industrial structure, promote the transformation of resource-based cities, and actively explore the need to adjust industry, strictly control of high pollution, high energy consumption and development industry, considering the evolution of the law of another country industrialization process demonstrated by the leading industry
Summary
Resource-based cities develop on the basis of natural resources These cities usually take exploration and process local resources, such as minerals, oil and forests, which resulted in a single industrial structure. The ultimate aim of achieving industrial structure transition of resource-based cities is to accelerate urban economic development, to encourage reasonable and sustainable resource utilization, to protect ecological environment and to speed up all-round social progress. In light of this objective, the evaluation of the economic transformation and the performance of resource-dependent cities should take these four dimensions into consideration
