A Study on the Path of Building Hefei as a Green Development City

Abstract

With "improving quality, reducing total amounts and preventing risks"as the mainline, Hefei adheres to ecological priority and the concept of symbiosis between cities and lakes, accelerates the transition towards green production methods, lifestyles and consumption patterns, and strides into a beautiful Hefei where "all lands are green, all waters are lucid, all seasons are scented with flowers and all places are resonant with singing birds". This paper analyses the unique measures taken by Hefei for green development. On the basis of reviewing the main achievements and problems of Hefei's green development, it proposes suggestions for reducing the excessive consumption of resources, comprehensively promoting industrial upgrading, disseminating ecological culture, strengthening the rule of law, environmental protection and eco-governance, and pushing forward the continuous improvement of ecological and environmental quality, so as to provide the decision-making basis for building Hefei as a green development demonstration city which realizes comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development on economic, social and ecological aspects.
