Abstract

Creating an ecological environment is one of the sustainable paths along with burgeoning significance. Ecological cities (eco-cities) are prevailing to be embodied with the potential to transform urban landscapes into sustainable, human-centered, and ecological environments. However, the significant failures of Chinese eco-city development are barely compared with Western cases within a holistic system. By comparing the social, economic, and environmental factors between Chinese eco-city construction and successful cases, this paper aims to decode advantageous experiences, innovative paths, and insightful policies through a global lens. In detail, from the perspectives of society and institution, economy, environment, and the key performance indicator (KPI), this paper identifies the strengths of international cases and the weaknesses of Chinese cases, providing valuable references for policy-making and planning of eco-city development in China. The results show that China could learn to encourage bottom-up and active public participation, empower market involvement, emphasize ecological technology, and improve the KPI system. The findings will help failed ecological cities in China to foster their development.
