Abstract

Advancements in modern society are reflected in urban construction and development. Transformation in urban industrial ecology is inevitable in light of environmental problems caused by development arising from economic growth. In this study, 30 provincial cities from mainland China were selected to test an index system for evaluating urban industrial ecological transformation; this index takes into account the situations of industrial development in all 289 cities at the prefecture level and above. Urban industrial ecologicalization was calculated based on the level of construction in China from 2003 to 2012, and the overall condition of urban industrial ecological transformation was determined based on an evaluation of each city, province, and region. Forty percent of the 30 provincial cities possessed mid- or high-level composite indexes of industrial ecological transformation, and half possessed indexes higher than the average of their corresponding provinces. Furthermore, environmental efficiency increased significantly in some cities in response to industrial ecological transformation, with the Central region having the highest composite, followed in succession by the Eastern, Northeastern, and Western regions.
