Balancing economic development and environmental protection has turned out to be a great challenge in Beijing, the capital of China, which can provide some suggestions on ecological civilization construction and green development for other cities. However, there have been limited studies on this crucial topic. Therefore, based on the statistical data for Beijing from 2006 to 2016, this paper constructed the green development evaluation system of Beijing, and used the Projection Pursuit Model and spatial analysis method to analyze the spatial and temporal changes in its green development level. We also aimed to further explore the influences of key factors on green development. Our results illustrated that:(1) the overall and average levels of green development in Beijing showed significant increasing trends;(2) there are obvious spatial differences in green development among districts in Beijing, with the outer districts showing higher values;and(3) the environmental condition and human consumption were two important factors driving the green development in Beijing.展开更多
