Research on the Development of Green Industry in Key Regions of China under the Background of New Industrialization
Focusing on regional green industrial development in the process of new industrialization,based on the requirements of national major regional development strategies and the"dual carbon"goals,a comprehensive evaluation index system is constructed,encompassing six dimensions:high-end industrial structure,low-carbon energy consumption,circular resource utilization,clean production processes,green product supply,and digital production methods.The improved entropy method is used to measure the level of green industrial development in 294 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2021,systematically assessing the development characteristics of six key regions:the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,the Yangtze River Delta,the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,the Yangtze River Economic Belt,the Yellow River Basin,and the Northeast region.The study finds that:(1)Regional green industrial development exhibits significant spatial differentiation,forming an overall pattern with the eastern region leading and a gradual decrease towards the central and western regions,with dual core development areas in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta;(2)Each region demonstrates differentiated development paths,with the eastern coastal areas leading comprehensively in industrial high-end and digital transformation,the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region showing uniqueness in resource recycling,and the Yangtze River Delta excelling in green product supply;(3)From 2011 to 2021,the levels of green industrial development in all regions have significantly improved,but there are differences in growth patterns and speeds,reflecting the phased and incremental characteristics of development.The research results provide important theoretical and policy implications for promoting the coordinated development of regional green industries in the process of new industrialization.
