Sustainable Industrial Ecology

The Tianshan Mountain Northern Slope Economic Belt is the largest economic belt in China, and is a development focus under the Belt and Road Initiative.Green development in this economic belt provides an important reference for other countries along the Belt and Road route.This study assesses the environmental performances of the Tianshan Mountain Northern Slope Economic Belt based on regional and industrial levels.Three wings of this economic belt-the south wing, the middle wing, and the north wingare defined using the results of the environmental performance assessment.The environmental performance of the north wing (which includes the Kuytun, Karamay, and Wusu economic zones) is the best, followed by that of the south wing (which includes the Gulja, Korgas, and Qapqel economic zones, the Urumqi and Changji economic zones, and the Turpan and Kumul economic zones).The environmental performance of the middle wing (which includes the Shihezi, Manas, and Shawan economic zones and the Bortala, Jinghe, and Alashankou economic zones) ranks lowest.Strategies for the green industrial development of these three wings are suggested based on the assessment results.
