It dedicated to minimization of required inputs in energy, water and food, and minimization of waste output in heat and pollution. This investigation was conducted to see how eco-city theory be applied in urban planning and construction. This study was performed by introducing the conception of eco-city, summarizing theory background and developing index framework, and analyzing a case of eco-city in China. The "case study" method was used to analyze the application of eco-city conception and theories. The results showed that eco-city conception and theories can be present in a well applying, and can be combined with local characteristic. What is more, international cooperation can be accepted by theory application in planning and construction for eco-city. It was concluded that eco-city theory can be applied in urban planning and construction. Local features and international cooperation can be applied in planning and construction of eco-city.
