Natural resources, as a special factor of production, is an important material source of human survival and economic development. The traditional economic growth theory is generally believed that natural resources has an important influence on the speed of economic growth, the natural resources is richer, the speed of economic development is faster. However, Researches by economists in the 1960 s, which showed a strange phenomenon named "rich poverty" : some natural resources is abundant relatively in a country or a region while its economic growth rate is lower than the relative scarcity of nature resources of the country or region, the emergence of the "rich poverty" phenomenon. In view of this strange phenomenon, many researchers have begun to think twice about the relationship between the natural resources and the economic growth. Auty put forward the "resource curse" to explain the phenomenon for the first time in 1993, he thought, Abundant natural resources may be a curse rather than a blessing for economic development, many countries with abundant natural resources have fared worse than "poorer" nations. As the theory was put forward, soon it was concerned fervently by economic circles, and followed up with a large studiesThe resource-based city is built up and progress in the foundation of exhaustible natural resources and has a very close relationship with resources.In addition to the general characteristics of the city of resource type city, it has also has an unique, unexpected and spatial structure is which mainly expressed on city development cycle and stage of economic structure and single and backward infrastructure, etc.. An important foundation of the development of resource-based cities is resource that can be depleted or approximately exhausted, so the development of the resource type city experiences approximately need to experience a process of prosperity expansion, prosperity transition which has a certain periodicity. China’s resource in the city has a long time in the state of extensive economic growth, which has many problems in the process of development. for example, Slow growth, unemployment increased, the deterioration of the environment, economic and social and environmental problems such as the shrinking resources, then the emergence of the "resource curse" phenomenon has appeared. Therefore, the economists has paid attention to the development of resource based cities.This paper will take the "resource curse" as the starting point, which focus on the analysis of three aspects. First, This paper Analyse the reasons of the "resource curse" phenomenon from the conduction mechanism, and explain the reasons why the resource type city "resource curse" phenomenon raise, It will be bring what the economic and social problems of long-term development of the resource type city derivative, then it can be an antidote against the disease, seek the development road suitable, It has certain theoretical value. The second is the research of the analysis for the economic development of Jiaozuo which is a type city and how to break the "resource curse" strategy. Using the method of case analysis and taking Jiaozuo city as an example. The study of economic development in Jiaozuo is analyzed, and the comparison of economic development transformation before and after development, the analysis of the transformation of Jiaozuo City would explore the solution of "resource curse" strategy and has the certain practical significance. The last is the analysis of resource type cities in China to crack the path of "resource curse" selection. by way of drawing lessons from foreign resource-based city to crack the successful experience of "resource curse" and the implementation of the strategy that the city of Jiaozuo take for the realization of economic restructuring, and breaking the "resource curse",we can explore the resources type city of our country to crack the "path of resource curse", and provide the reference for economic and social development regulation with resource type cities of our country.
