Research on the transition of resource-based cities based on circular economy: To take the city of Yulin in Shanxi Province as an example

Abstract

The development of resource-based cities confronts plenty of difficulties so transition is inevitable. Although there are some problems during the rapid economic growth in Yulin, circular economy which is developing actively there has laid the foundation for its transition and transition superiority is formed. To achieve the transition of Yulin successfully, we should give full play to the leading role of government, establish the consciousness of circular economy, rely on science and technology, improve the credit and carry out protective development. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
