This expression has been in use for no more than 20 years and domestic study on the subject is late with poor foundation for further study. It is significant to do research on ideology origin, theory foundation and evolving.Although the construction of ecological cities in our country is late somehow, it progresses rapidly. By Dec 2005, there were 158 cities planning to construct ecological cities. In this paper, through a general picture of construction of ecological cities in China, the writer will analyses macro settings of construction of ecological cities home and abroad, including ecological environmental actuality, requirement of policy and law, perfection of state's views of development, and the effect of successful experience, international exchange, technologic instrument and the thought of target-oriented.158 cities mentioned above are in different degree of the construction of ecological cities, some still not having any action, some already making ecological plan to put theory into practice, and the other having worked out regional ecological plan aiming at constructing ecological urban agglomerations.

According to its spatial patterns, the development of ecological cities can be marked off into three periods of scattered spots, planar and spots integrated and regions interconnected which display the continuous development process of ecological city.Through the analysis on the actuality of ecological city construction, the factors affecting the construction of ecological cities in our country are studied in this paper on the ground of the major problems in the process of construction.
