Among all the 119 counties (cities, districts) in Shanxi province, China, there are 94 counties with coal resources, and 80% are resource-based mining cities. Since 2008, a number of small coal mines have been shut down due to the integration of coal resources in Shanxi Province, as well as merger and reorganization of large state-owned coal mining enterprises are under efficient operations. This series of integrations highlights the issue of channels of employment in industrial mining cities in Shanxi province, followed by issues such as urban labor triage, underdeveloped urban functions, and function transformation lagging behind industrial transformation, shortage of follow-up sustainable development driving force and so on. This paper takes small industrial mining cities in Shanxi province as the research subject, taking their function transformation and various problems during the sustainable development as the main content, to propose relevant strategies for the sustainable development; therefore, this study is with great significance to all-leveled resource-based industrial mining cities, which are in transition period, in Shanxi province.

Since 2008, a number of small coal mines have been shut down due to the integration of coal resources in Shanxi Province. This series of integrations highlights the issue of channels of employment in industrial mining cities in Shanxi province. In this paper, we get rid of the misleading concept of achieving sustainable development by emphasizing industrial transformation but neglecting function transformation, and proposed five strategies to promote the transformation and development of urban functions. It is hoped that the lessons learned from this research can be transferred to similar planning exercises for small industrial mining cities in China and elsewhere that cities are undergoing rapid transformation. Sustainable development of this study is meant to encompass a more balanced consideration of environmental, social, and economic values, as opposed to planning in the past which have tended to favor economic growth at the expense of other vales.

For historical reasons, areas, such as Shanxi, which rely on resources and development of heavy industries, have more serious social transformation and economy restructuring problems, compared with other regions in China. Based on this fact, small cities should seize new opportunities for development, adopt standardized and energy-saving requirements to launch a new round of constructions. The problem of space for further development should be solved by respecting the ownership of land in mineral, towns and villages, while meeting residents’ demand for improved function, enhanced quality and more attracting environment. Meanwhile, small cities also should pursue a more efficient use of urban land to nurture and enhance new urban functions, prompting cities’ gradually weaker degree of attachment to the coal resources and restructuring of urban function, to embark on a new path of sustainable development. Because of constraints of research duration and related data and information, this paper takes Yangquanqu town as an example, proposing strategies of transformation of urban function and sustainable development of some small cities in Shanxi province, which are with better transportation and ecological conditions but trapped in a plight of development due to the mergers and restructure among coal mineral enterprises.
