Resource-based cities are the important constituents of urban economy, regional economy and even the entire national economy. The production and development of these cities have a close relationship with resource development, mostly are the natural resources such as minerals, forests in their regions. In these places, the exploitation and pretreating of these resources are the leading industry. At the same time, these places are the mainly resources supply bases for China’s economic construction. Resource-based cities play a considerable role in regional economic development. Due to the resource-based cities’ radiation and leading role in China, they greatly improve the pattern of regional economy in our country and promote the coordinated development of regional economy. However, due to the unique characteristics of natural resources and the historical background of the development of urban construction, the development of resource-based cities have accumulated some problems and contradictions in the developing process, such as:relatively weak urban development capability, relatively single industrial structures, serious ecological destruction of environment, outstanding problems of people’s livelihood etc. To a large extent, these problems and contradictions restricted the sustainable development of resource-based cities. Therefore, how to realize the sustainable development of resource-based cities in our country in the future is the key problem to solve for a long time.The sustainable development of resource-based cities is influenced by many factors, such as the present situation of economy, society, environment, resources and their future changes. That complexity determines that the government is the main force to promote the sustainable development of these cities. To realize the transformation of these cities, it is inevitable for the government to make the transform. As policymakers and the representatives of national interests, the government plays an irreplaceable role in the sustainable development. The process of government transformation is a change of government administrative concept and the relocation of management function. In general, in the perspective of sustainable development, our country faced many problems:the backward of thinking models of government transformation of resources cities’government management, highly administration management, the absence of management function and the insufficient management ability. The government transformation of resources cities are influenced by many factors, such as the planned economy system, the characteristics of resource-based cities and the influence of irrational concept. By making a study on the transformation experiences and lessons of resources-based cities and combine the domestic and foreign relative theories and the current situation of our country, this thesis put forward suggestions on the government transformation of resource-based cities in our country.The transformation of resources cities covers many fields and involves complex processes. In order to achieve the transformation, the government should fully perform their functions to act as a responsible, legal dominated, service-oriented and clean and honest government. After drawing the lessons from some successful experiences and combining the development vision made by the sustainable development of resource-based cities and the goal of government transformation of resources cities, this paper summarized the following four basic solutions. The first is to promote development idea to construct a comprehensive management government, thus to change the "government standard" into "citizen standard". The second is to strengthen the function of the government to promote the construction of green cities, give full play to the function of government, guide the city to speed up the industrial structure adjustment and pay attention to the ecological environment protection, etc. The third is to improve and complete the government system and the construction of a service government, which includes strengthening the public government affairs, making an open government, clearing the function of the government, constructing a responsible government, strengthening the team construction and building a service government, etc. The fourth is to pay attention to the system innovation, government officials and conflicts of interests. For resource-based cities’system innovation, an effective system arrangement must be matched with the local institutional environment. It must have the courage to practice and to summarize unceasingly. At the same time, it has to effectively adjust the conflict of interests between the government officials.
