As the economic and social development of some resource-based cities enters a stage of decline, how to promote the transformation and upgrading of urban economic industries and achieve healthy and sustainable development of urban construction, public well-being, and services has become a challenge faced by these cities. Based on the perspective of healthy cities, this article takes the urban transformation and development of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, China as an example, through collections and comparative analysis of socio-economic, environmental, and construction data, as well as public policies and strategies from 2006 to 2022, and summarizes the role, development trend and interrelationship of the healthy economic industries, ecological environment, urban construction, and public health services. It is proposed that it is necessary to promote the synergistic development of public health and urban transformation.
