城市是经济发展和资源环境矛盾最为突出的地区，全球各大城市都经历了从产业转型升级到能源交通效率提升，再到系统推进环境经济协调的发展历程。综观全球城市推进环境经济协调发展的实践和经验可以发现，城市产业转型升级决定了经济发展的模式是否具有资源节约环境友好的特征，是城市环境经济能否协调发展的关键，城市的能源消耗和交通体系是环境经济矛盾的焦点和难点，城市的空间布局是城市生态环境的基底，政策制度创新是推动环境经济协调发展的保障。与全球城市相比，上海市仍然存在产业转型升级进程尚未完成、资源能源利用效率不高、城市生态环境质量尚待提升、环境经济协调战略起步较晚等问题，需要从产业生态化转型、能源利用效率提升、低碳交通体系建设和生态空间布局优化等领域系统推进城市绿色转型发展。
Cities is the most prominent area of the contradiction between economic development and environmental. All the cities around the world have experienced the industrial transformation，the efficiency improvement of energy transportation，and the systematically promoting the development of environmental economic coordination. Through the practice and experience of global cities in promoting the coordinated of environmental and economy，it can be found that the transformation industry determines is the key to the coordination of environmental and economy. The transportation system is the difficulty of environmental economic contradictions. The spatial structure of the city is the base of the urban ecological environment，and the policy is the guarantee for promoting the coordinated of environmental and economy. Compared with global cities，Shanghai still has problems in the industrial transformation，the inefficient use of energy，the environment quality，and the lag of environmental strategy. It is necessary to be advanced systematically in these areas.
