Features: This book, based on China's national conditions and drawing on international experience, is guided by the Scientific Outlook on Development and systematically studies the theoretical and practical issues of informatization and sustainable development in the unity of quality and quantity. The book is divided into four parts: Part one explores the relationship between informatization and the Scientific Outlook on Development; the second part examines the theoretical and practical aspects of informatization, sustainable utilization of resources, optimization of resource structure, and the driving forces of sustainable development; the third part investigates the theories and policies related to the development of information resources and the information service industry; the fourth part studies the sustainable development evaluation of informatization and the theories and policies of the circular economy system under informatization. The book argues that information resources are strategic resources for sustainable development; informatization is crucial to the economy, society, culture, politics, and national security, becoming a strategic high ground for future development; the level of informatization has become an important indicator for measuring the international competitiveness, modernization level, comprehensive national strength, and economic growth capacity of a country or region; and informatization serves as an effective path to implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, a necessary route to achieve sustainable development, a powerful driving force for advancing sustainable development, and a strong tool for promoting resource conservation. The research findings of this book can enrich the theory of sustainable development, advance the development of economic theory, expand the application fields of informatization, and provide references for China to formulate and implement strategies for informatization and sustainable development. This will accelerate China's informatization construction and sustainable development processes, thereby contributing to the accelerated building of a harmonious socialist society and the realization of a well-off society in an all-round way.
