Compared with the extensive research on industrial sustainability in cities of the developed world, similar empirical work in developing countries is rare. We concluded from the perspective of cultural industrial space assemble, and take Qujiang cultural industry park based on local landscape design as an example, using hierarchy cluster analysis, based on selected variables that reflect the industrial advantages, government contributions, environmental management and economic performance of the enterprises. Consequently, the objective of a dynamic response to culture industrial cluster was seen as an attempt to form cultural industrial park sustainable development throughout the organizational.
