摘要：以无锡市为研究区，运用生态足迹的理论和模型，对无锡市2000～2009年的生态足迹、生态承载量以及生态盈余/赤字情况进行了计算。结果表明：近10年来，由于经济的快速发展、城镇化过程的加快，无锡市人均生态足迹呈现不断增长的趋势，大于人均生态承载量的增长，出现生态赤字且不断的增加。针对目前的情况，提出了控制人口规模、因地制宜调整产业结构、发展低碳经济和合理开发土地等实现无锡市可持续发展的对策建议。

The result shows that in the past ten years，due to the rapid economic growth and the acceleration of urbanization，the per capita ecological footprint has the tendency of unceasing growth, is far greater than the per capita ecological capacity, the resources expense has surpassed the resources reproductive property seriously ecological deficit increased year by year. In view of the current situation, this paper proposes some suggestions to realize sustainable development of Wuxi, including controlling the population size ,developing the circular economy, adjusting the industrial structure, to promote the reasonable development of land and so on.
