“…The relative development types of urbanization and ecological resilience were dominated by lagging urbanization, with the number of cities as high as 65% and fewer cities with synchronized development (14%). This result shows that there is room for improvement in the urbanization level of most cities, such as urbanization scale, industrial structure, and economic benefits, which have become major factors in urban development ( Fu et al, 2020 ; Yang, Wong Christina & Miao, 2021 ). Optimizing the structure and improving efficiency are rapidly becoming key issues in urban development.…”

Background The growth of urbanization in the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in unprecedented ecological security issues. The imbalance between urban development and internal ecological security is a growing concern. Methods Based on the urban development process and the characteristics of ecosystem resilience, the corresponding urbanization evaluation system (“scale-structure-benefit”) and ecosystem resilience assessment model (“resistance-adaptability-restoring”) were constructed to explore the changes in each dimension as well as to analyze the spatial and temporal changes and driving effects of the coupled coordination level of urbanization and ecological resilience using the coupled coordination degree (CCD) model and geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR). Results (1) From 2005 to 2020, urbanization levels increased (from 0.204 to 0.264, respectively), whereas the level of ecological resilience gradually decreased (from 0.435 to 0.421, respectively). The spatial distribution of urbanization is rather steady, with a “high-northeast low-southwest” pattern of regional distribution; however, the spatial distribution pattern of ecological resilience is essentially the reverse. (2) During the study period, there was an improvement in the level of coordination between urbanization and ecological resilience, with an increase from 0.524 to 0.540. However, the main coordination type remained the same, with over 46% being at the basic coordination stage. The relative development type was dominated by the lagging urbanization stage, with the lagging ecological resilience and synchronous development stages accounting for a smaller proportion, and the space was distributed in a block-like cluster. (3) The running results of the GTWR show that the core dimensions of the whole region are scale, benefit, and structure, and the impact of each dimension shows obvious spatial heterogeneity. Cities with different levels of relative development also have different central dimensions. This research will provide support for the coordination of urban development in areas where economic construction and ecological resilience are not coordinated, and will contribute to the sustainable development of urban areas.

“…Within the EE system, the endless development of EcS and SS demands for EnS and the relatively stable supply of EnS has led to contradictions throughout the development process of EE (Liu et al, 2020). Firstly, EcS provides financial support (such as infrastructure investment) for the SS with its features of product production (Yang et al, 2021a). In turn, SS can give the necessary human resources to EcS.…”

“…The de-urbanization is a case in point (Yang et al, 2021a). Finally, EcS can provide enough economic support for the enhancement of EnS (Cheng et al, 2019), and a region with highquality EnS is more likely to attract more investments for EcS (Tian et al, 2016).…”

“…The primary energy consumption in China has reached 151.21 EJ in 2020, accounting for nearly 1/3 of the total primary energy consumption in the world (BP, 2021), and its CO 2 emissions has taken up 41% of the world's cumulative emissions, exceeding the total emissions of the United States and the European Union (Global Carbon Project, 2021). In addition, China is experiencing a period of accelerated urbanization, which further intensifies the pressure of environmental pollution and energy consumption (Yang et al, 2021a). According to the 2018 global environmental performance index report, China ranked 120 th among 180 countries (Wendling et al, 2018), and is one of the most polluted countries in the world.…”

Ecological efficiency (EE) provides much reference for formulating appropriate regional economic, social and environmental policies to promote sustainable development. Interactive subsystems of economy, society and environment within EE system have been considered in this paper. By innovatively integrating the merits of two advanced economic research methods (global super efficiency network data envelopment analysis (GSE-NDEA) and panel vector autoregression (PVAR) and updating the EE evaluation indicator system by following the new features of sustainable development in the recent China, this paper comprehensively evaluates EE by drawing evidence from 3 regions in China during the period of 2011–2020, and further reveals how the three subsystems within EE system interact to achieve EE enhancement. The findings show EE and its three subsystems’ trend, the major constrains of EE development, the regional discrepancies in EE progress, and the interactions among the subsystems of economy-society-environment within the EE system in different regions of China. The policy implications are proposed accordingly.
