| Abstract |
In the context of sustainable development, as a major economic province along the eastern coast of China, Jiangsu Province actively explores new models and paths for green development while promoting high-quality economic development. However, there are significant differences among cities within Jiangsu Province in terms of economic development level, industrial structure, resource environment, etc., which directly affects the process and effectiveness of their green development. This study uses principal component analysis and cluster analysis to comprehensively evaluate the economic green development status of 13 municipal administrative regions in Jiangsu Province, revealing the advantages and disadvantages of each city in green economic development in Jiangsu Province. The results showed that there were significant differences in the development level of green economy among different regions. Suzhou, Nanjing, and Wuxi performed well in terms of economy, society, and environment, while Yancheng, Taizhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Lianyungang, Huaian, and Suqian performed poorly. Moreover, there was a clear similarity between economic development, peoples livelihood, society, resources and environment, and the development level of green economy. Based on this, suggestions are proposed to promote the development level of green economy in Jiangsu Province, providing reference and inspiration for other regions, and providing scientific basis for the government to formulate green development strategies and policies.
