“…Lastly, the SDPRC policy had heterogeneous effects in different cities. Policymakers should adjust measures to local conditions and adopt different strategies because the determinants that influence the development of each city are various [47]. Klopp and Petretta [48] and Moreno Pires et al [49] suggested that, to establish quantitative indicator targets about specific tasks in each city, which can make the policy more implementable, goal achievement should be presented clearly, and a reference provided for appropriate decision making and policies.…”

This study utilizes a difference-in-difference (DID) regression model to evaluate the impact of China’s “National Sustainable Development Plan of Resource-Based Cities (2013–2020)” on economic growth in resource-based cities. The analysis is based on the data covering 329 Chinese cities during 2006–2019. Economic growth is measured by the annual growth rate of gross domestic product (GDP). It was found that the policy had a significantly negative impact on economic growth. Further analysis suggests that the policy depressed innovation in resource-based cities, and these cities did not expand their labor and capital inputs. These two phenomena can help explain why the policy’s effect on economic growth was negative, rather than positive. Moreover, our study reports that the effect of the policy was heterogeneous across different cities, depending on their development stages and spatial locations. Overall, our study detects an undesirable effect of the policy. The research findings call for more actions to promote macroeconomic growth during the process of economic transformation in China’s resource-based cities.

“…Research data on the stereoscopic cultivation model in the mountainous areas of Zigui County were primarily obtained from available literature, statistical yearbooks, government websites, and government reports [10,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53]. Data on understory farming models in the mountains of Yichun City were obtained from official government websites, government reports, and available literature [54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. Research data on the rice-fish-duck integrated farming model in the Hani terraces were based on existing literature [42,[66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75].…”

Achieving food security and improving nutrition is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With rapid socioeconomic development, the dietary structure of the Chinese population has changed significantly, leading to increased demand for cultivated land. At the same time, rapid urbanization has continuously reduced the amount of cultivated land in China, and there is an urgent necessity for the nation to alleviate the shortage of cultivated land to meet the population’s evolving dietary consumption needs. A review of the literature indicates that the use of mountainous areas to produce agricultural products for the population can effectively reduce the use of cultivated land on the plains and mitigate the shortage of cultivated land to meet dietary consumption needs. According to the different natural and socioeconomic conditions of mountainous areas, this study concludes that the adoption of mountain hillside, mountain understory, and mountainous limited cultivated land use patterns to develop agricultural production in mountainous areas is an effective approach to address the shortage of cultivated land caused by changes in the Chinese dietary structure.

“…It might be necessary to introduce high technology industry and fundamentally raise the awareness of sustainable development. Ruan et al (2021) used Yichun City as a case study, analyzed the policy effects on economic growth and environmental quality. They insisted that policymakers should give preference to the economic transformation.…”

Promoting the carbon efficiency is an accepted topic in China’s sustainable development against the background of carbon neutrality. After the State Council announced 69 resource-exhausted cities, Chinese government has strengthened policy and funds support to set up a long-term mechanism of sustainable development. This paper utilizes a spatial difference-in-differences (SDID) method to investigate the policy effect in those resource-exhausted cities and their neighboring cities, with city-level data during 2004–2016. Then we find a positive feedback of supporting policy on carbon performance in both local regions and adjacent regions. Furthermore, we find that wage distortion could account for carbon performance improvement. Our results could provide evidence and implications for realizing the low-carbon economy in China.
