ABSTRACT
Island cities are an important part of modern urban structure, playing an important role in the economic development of coastal countries. In recent years, with population growth and the need for socio-economic development, island urban development has been given top priority to create a suitable living and working environment for residents. At the same time, it protects the marine environment and ensures national security and defense. Besides the benefits that island urban development brings, there are negative impacts on island resources and the environment due to massive urban development. In particular, in a context where the world increasingly faces challenges of climate change, environmental pollution, and economic competition, sustainable island urban development is urgent. From a comprehensive perspective of geographical science based on synthesizing research documents on island urban areas, this article clarifies the future trend of island urban development, which requires attention to the unique characteristics of islands, if you want to develop sustainable island urban areas in the future, you need to follow the philosophy "Relying on Nature - Suitable for land - Harmony of people".
