The concept of sustainable development, after being brought forward, has become a shibboleth in the world, at national and local levels. In Europe, this concept is implemented from the local to the nation, even to the Continent. The local sustainable development mainly consists in two factors: one is the renovating method continually invented by European Secretariat of ICLEI, and the other is that the local authorities towards sustainability are co-operated by the European Sustainable Cities and Towns Campaign. The eco-budget method is the outcome of these factors. For our country is a big country on rapid progression of industrialization and urbanization, with a large population and scarce resources per capita, it is practically significance to study as soon as possible the methodology. Experience from European local sustainable development may help us to resolve the handicap of department division in local authority.
