Abstract

The development of ecological cities is an important sign that Zhejiang’s urbanization is changing from a quantitative increase to qualitative improvement; it is also one of the priorities for strengthening ecological development. Urbanization is one of the two main goals of modernization; in the new period, Zhejiang’s urban development cannot be pursued merely by controlling environmental pollution like that in the middle and later periods of the 20th century, Zhejiang should elevate urban development to sustainable development towards urban ecological progress. It is necessary to draw upon domestic and foreign experience in urbanization, build and renovate cities according to high standards and really achieve green and low-carbon development of ecological cities, and thus build a beautiful Zhejiang.
