Mining city,a unique city economic type,relies on the development and utilization of mineral resources,driving and promoting the city’s economic and social development. Under the restraint of mineral resources’reserve and the effects of mineral resources exploitation,the development of mining cities generally undergo four stages:the starting period,the growth period,the maturity period and the declining period. The development and utilization of mineral resources is,on the one hand,what mining cities’economic development relies on,and on and on the other has some severe negative impact on the city’s ecological environ-ment,having great influences on the sustainable development of mining cities. Based on Logistic dynamics model,the growth and development track of mining cities was analyzed. The simulation of the different development periods of the mining cities indicated that when the development element base reaches zero,the contribution of mining industry to the economic development of the cities reaches the threshold value of sustainable development. Before the mining cities enter into the decline period,the establishment of a diversified industrial structure can avoid the dependence of mining cities’development on one single industry,so to realize the sustainable development of mining cities.
