“…At the northern end, it originates in Beijing and extends south to Hangzhou. With a total length of 1794 km, it is one of the largest water resource engineering projects in human history, connecting five major rivers in China [65,66]. It was built after AD 500 and first envisioned as a means of communication to unite the country in the seventh century.…”

The phrase ‘green cities’ refers to an idealised and modernised urban development model that features harmonious development among the environment, ecology, society, culture, and the inhabitants of a city. Harmonious humanistic relations and green pathways have become predominant models in modern urban development. Green city construction has drawn considerable attention. However, the construction and development of green cities involves numerous problems. The various needs of different populations must be coordinated to foster the green development of a city. In this study, the analytic hierarchy process was used to classify factors related to green city construction into different levels. The scope of the empirical verification was eight cities alongshore the drainage area of the Jiangsu section of the Beijing–Hangzhou Canal. Data from 2009, 2014, and 2019 were selected for analysis. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed using these data, and standards were established to serve as a reference for city administrators in the process of decision-making regarding green city construction.

“…As the core city of the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt, Huai'an City is located in the north-central part of Jiangsu, in the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River Basin, and is known as the Flood Corridor [29][30][31]. For this reason, this study selected Huai'an City for empirical research, and the scope of the study area is shown in Figure 1.…”

“…In this study, a large amount of relevant literature was analyzed and organized. Based on the foundation of previous studies [28,50,51], we fully analyzed the existing indicator system, referred to the criteria in the analysis of water supply and demand, combined with the current situation of Huai'an City, and selected 13 indexes [30,[52][53][54] from four aspects, i.e., economic, social, environmental, and water resources [55][56][57][58][59]:…”

With the rapid development of urbanization, problems such as the tight supply and demand of water resources and the pollution of the water environment have become increasingly prominent, and the pressure on the carrying capacity of water resources has gradually increased. In order to better promote the sustainable development of cities, it is extremely important to coordinate the relationship between water resources and economic society. This study analyzed the current research status of water resources carrying capacity from two aspects, i.e., research perspective and research methodology, established an innovative evaluation system, and used the principal component analysis to analyze the water resources carrying capacity in Huai’an City, an important city in China’s Huaihe River Ecological Economic Zone. Based on the results, it is found that the water resources carrying capacity of Huai’an City has been declining year by year from 2013 to 2019. Based on the evaluation results, suggestions and measures to improve the water resources carrying capacity of the empirical city are proposed to provide an important decision basis for the coordinated development of urban economy, society, and water resources.

“…Since China proposed the planning scheme of the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt, this region has become an important practice place for territorial space development due to its abundant and concentrated ecological resources and low land-use intensity [5,6]. From the perspective of evaluation object, the studies on resource and environment carrying capacity include not only single classification but also comprehensive investigations [7,8].…”

The evaluations of resource and environment carrying capacity and territorial development suitability, also referred to as “double evaluations”, have been taken by China as an important direction in territorial space planning. Based on the evaluation of resource and environment carrying capacity, the double evaluations can contribute to protecting ecological safety and territorial safety and promoting regional sustainable development. The focus of this study was to integratedly evaluate the resource and environment carrying capacity of the Huaihe River Ecological and Economic Belt. First, the overall weights of the factors at the dimension level and the index level in the established integration evaluation system were calculated with the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) method; and then, using the linear weighted function, the overall resource and environment carrying capacities of 25 cities in the belt were calculated. On that basis, the resource and environment carrying capacity evaluation model was established. Through model analysis, this study comprehensively investigated the resource and environment carrying capacity of the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt and provided a foundation for the future territorial space planning and layout of the Huaihe River Eco-economic Belt.
