The results showed that the footprints synthesis index changed from 2.274 2 in 1987 to 3.816 9 in 2013, which had the tendency of ascending. The footprints synthesis index had gental curve relationship with per capita GDP, showing the increasing of the ecological occupancy and the less sustainability of resource utilization. The Environmental Kuznets Curve of land, carbon and water footprints were respectively in ∽-curve, coordinated growth curve, and flat curve, which shows the entering to transition period of urbanization, the rising period of carbon emissions and the non-sustainability of water resources in China. The selection of indicators has impact on the shape of the Kuznets Curve. %U https://www.jnr.ac.cn/EN/10.11849/zrzyxb.20151232
