Green development of cities, Current development status, Existing problem, Wenzhou city.

Promoting green urban development is the only way to realize the dream of a beautiful China and promote sustainable human development. Based on a survey conducted in Wenzhou, this study systematically analyzes the city’s current status in green energy transition, ecological conservation and restoration, green manufacturing system development, environmental governance, and institutional innovation. It highlights persistent challenges including intense pressure for industrial structure transformation, significant gaps in environmental infrastructure, underdeveloped cross-regional coordination mechanisms, insufficient promotion of green concepts, and the arduous task of optimizing energy structures. The research shows that although Wenzhou has initially formed a green development path with local characteristics, structural, institutional and conceptual obstacles still restrict its in-depth development. Therefore, it is suggested that we should optimize the industrial structure, make up for the shortcomings of facilities, improve the collaborative governance mechanism, strengthen the publicity of green concepts and public participation, and build a low-carbon energy system, so as to promote the high-quality development of Wenzhou and provide reference for similar cities to achieve the “dual carbon” goals.
