With the intensification of urbanization, industrial development and ecological environment governance have become two important aspects of today's social development, how to achieve the integrated development of the two through overall planning, which can not only promote economic development, but also protect the ecological environment, is an urgent problem to be solved. The Ecology-Oriented Development (EOD) model is a feasible solution to achieve a win-win situation for both the economy and the ecology through reasonable industrial layout and environmental governance. This article will explore the integrated development of industrial development and ecological environmental governance, and take you to understand the basic connotation and practical experience of the EOD model.
The basic connotation of the EOD model
According to the definition of EOD model in the Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the General Office of the China Development Bank on Recommending Pilot Projects of the Eco-environment-Oriented Development Model, the EOD model is an innovative project organization and implementation mode based on ecological protection and environmental governance, supported by the operation of characteristic industries, and based on regional comprehensive development, and by means of industrial chain extension, joint operation, and combined development, to promote the effective integration of ecological environment governance projects and related industries with good returns.
Diagram of the EOD mode running mechanism
The core essence of the EOD model is to incorporate ecological environmental governance into the input elements of development projects, and to improve the sustainable development of the industry by locking in the income generated by ecological environmental protection in advance and transforming it into feedback on the investment in ecological environmental governance-related projects.
Specifically, there are three main connotations:
The first is integration, that is, to effectively promote the integration of public welfare ecological environment governance and related industry development projects, and match fat and thin.
The second is integration, that is, the overall implementation of a market entity, the integration of ecological environmental governance as the input element of the overall project, the integrated implementation of construction and operation and maintenance, and the internalization of the economic value brought by ecological environmental governance.
The third is to give back, and strive to achieve a balance between the overall benefits and costs of the project within the project boundary, and reduce the investment or payment of government funds.
The development of the EOD model in the mainland
The development of EOD in China is mainly led by national policies. From 2016, when the 13th Five-Year Plan for Ecological and Environmental Protection first proposed to explore the combined development model of environmental governance projects and business development projects, in 2020, the General Office of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the General Office of the China Development Bank (hereinafter referred to as the "three departments") jointly issued the Notice on Recommending Pilot Projects of the Eco-Environment-Oriented Development Model, and in 2021, the three departments issued the Notice on Agreeing to Carry out the Second Batch of Eco-Environment-Oriented Development (EOD) Model Pilots , 94 projects have started the pilot work of the eco-environment-oriented development (EOD) model.
What industries is EOD suitable for?
The EOD model is generally applicable to the following types of industries: ecological agriculture, tourism, health care and other ecological industry development projects, digital economy, medicine, electronic components and other environmentally sensitive industrial cluster development projects, "photovoltaic +", biomass energy utilization and other clean energy projects. According to the pilot list of the first and second batches of 94 projects announced by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the related industrial categories involve primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and can also include comprehensive development projects such as park development and urban development.

In general, the EOD model is suitable for projects related to ecological and environmental governance, which is in line with the actual local social and economic development, and can form a benign interaction between industrial development and ecological environment, and fully combines regional characteristic resources and advantageous industries.
Analysis of innovative projects in the EOD model
Since 2022, Shanghai Fudan Institute of Planning and Architectural Design and Shanghai Institute of Spatial Planning and Design have cooperated to complete a number of innovative projects of EOD model, which have been included in the provincial EOD model project library. Today, we will talk about it through a project case.
Ecological and environmental governance of the Taiping Lake Basin in Huangshan District
and the overall planning plan for green transformation and development
Project Background
Huangshan District, Huangshan City, located in the south of Anhui Province, has 9 towns and 5 townships under its jurisdiction, namely: Gantang Town, Tangkou Town, Tanjiaqiao Town, Taipinghu Town, Xianyuan Town, Jiaocun Town, Gengcheng Town, Sankou Town, Wushi Town, Xinming Township, Longmen Township, Xinhua Township, Xinfeng Township, Yongfeng Township. The famous scenic spots of Huangshan Mountain and Taiping Lake are all in the territory.
The overall idea
Relying on the existing infrastructure to build an integrated EOD project, complete the rectification and restoration of the national lakes with good water quality and the central environmental protection inspectors of the national key lakes for ecological and environmental protection, connect with the national and provincial EOD storage policies, transform the core potential value of the hinterland of the "Greater Yellow Mountain" international leisure and vacation tourism destination, and realize green growth.
Serving the overall goal of the construction of the core area of Taiping Lake, an ecological and international world-class tourist destination of "Great Yellow Mountain" (southern Anhui), and the integrated EOD project of "green expansion and growth" in the ecological core area of Taiping Lake, it is positioned to build a modern Taiping Lake lakeside green expansion and growth demonstration area of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
Overall planning plan
According to the overall goal of the project, implement the governance requirements, protect the original landscape, connect the comprehensive corridor, revitalize static resources, build a new city around the lake, build the core of a lake, regulate and control the industrial transformation, and realize the transformation of dividends.
