An Innovative Sustainability-Oriented Eco-Development Approach in China: The Case Study of Chongming Island

Abstract:

The rapid development of Chinas economy has not only created enormous material wealth, but also brought about great challenges to natural resources and environment. Therefore, there is a pressing need of transition from traditional development pathways to a sustainable one for China. Taking Chongming Island as a case, an innovative sustainability-oriented eco-development approach is presented. Chongming Island has a unique setting as a rural county in the highly urbanized municipality, with a good eco-environment and least developed economy in the surroundings. Through exploring a path to ecological modernization beyond the traditional industrialization, Chongming practice is expected to show the way of how to integrate ecosystem management and eco-development in a developing area, which is a good demonstration for China and other developing countries and regions.
