Abstract

The green economic development level of 100 prefecture-level cities in the Yellow River basin from 2010 to 2019 was measured under the framework of DPSIR model. The results show that: (1) the overall level of green economy development in the Yellow River basin is good, but regional differences still exist, and the overall clustering trend is “medium-high level - high level - medium-high level”. (2) Most cities belonging to Gansu Province, Henan Province and Sichuan Province have improved their green economy development level. (3) Lanzhou City has been able to maintain a high level steadily while improving its overall level, which cannot be separated from the city's emphasis on talent training.
