Title: The Significance of Environmental Ethics for Eco-City Construction
Abstract: Modern cities established with anthropocentric principles have produced series of urban environmental problems,and have turned the conflict between human and nature gradually into the state of binary oppositions,and put urban ecosystem in a precarious edge.With the profound reflection on the environmental problems of modern cities,the concept of eco-city construction comes into being and has rapidly developed.Eco-city is a kind of urban development pattern in order to confront the current city environment crisis and achieve a harmonious coexistence between man and nature,man and society.The concepts of eco-city and environmental ethics have internal consistency: both contain ideas of non-anthropocentrism,sustainable development and environmental justice.Environmental ethics is an important support for the construction of eco-city,which guides the construction of ecological city.Firstly,the values,moral norms and belief of environmental ethics provide theoretical support for ecocity construction.Secondly,the practices of environmental ethics in culture,moral education,low-carbon economy mode and legal system provide practical support for eco-city construction.
