The Impact of the 'Ten Policies for Soil' on Urban Green Space Construction and Resource-Based City Transformation

The 'Ten Policies for Soil' significantly promoted the construction of urban green spaces (UGS) in resource-based cities, thereby promoting the transformation of resource-based cities. The results of this study confirm this argument. This research has important policy implications. Firstly, the implementation of the 'Ten Policies for Soil' can not only improve the construction of UGS in resource-based cities but also help to promote urban economic development. Decision-makers can increase the implementation of policies to improve soil restoration and greenery, promoting sustainable development in cities. Secondly, considering that the effectiveness of the 'Ten Policies for Soil' varies across different types of resource-based cities, decision-makers can focus on addressing UGS environmental governance issues in cities with a larger industrial development scale, mega-cities, and mining cities. Improving energy efficiency, optimizing green infrastructure construction, and increasing policy implementation in these areas can achieve high-quality and sustainable development of the regional economy and environment. Finally, public attention played a supervisory role in the implementation of the 'Ten Policies for Soil'. Policy-makers should consider the role of public supervision in practice. In addition, the implementation of domestic projects and regulations can learn from the experience of international projects to improve the efficiency of soil improvement.
