Abstract American economist K.Paulding first put forward the concept of "Circular Economy" in 1960s. The Kitakyushu of Japan was once a heavy industrial zone with the most acute contradiction between development and environmental problems. Since the 1960s, Japanese government started to develop circular economy in Kitakyushu and achieved unprecedented success. Its experience of transforming the old industrial bases into modern ecological community provides a good sample to countries with old industrial bases all over the world.
