Abstract: Most resource-based cities are facing many issues which impact urban development during growing period, such as depleted resource and declining city, and worsening environmental pollution. Sustainable development of resource-based cities requires a green transformation. This paper, based on vast quantity of references, reviews each stage of urban transformation and sustainable development, studies the concept of resource-based city, developing stage, theoretical advances domestic and overseas, sets up and optimizes theoretical index system for resource-based cities and sustainable development. Quantitative analysis is the current research focus.  

Key words: resource-based city, green transformation, research advance, research method 

摘要： 大多资源型城市在发展过程中会出现诸多影响城市发展的问题，如矿竭城衰和环境污染不断加剧等。资源型城市发展建设问题研究作为城市发展的重要课题已经得到广泛关注，各地开始探索城市的绿色转型。文章在梳理大量文献基础上，对当前国内外资源型城市转型和可持续发展研究的各个阶段及相关内容作出系统整理，主要从资源型城市概念、发展阶段、国内外相关理论进展和各种研究方法进行研究。通过研究发现，创立并完善资源型城市转型和可持续发展的理论指导体系，引入更为有效的方法进行定量分析是当前研究的重点。
