Abstract: How to complete the transition of the depleting mining in the regional context is the key to sustainable development of mining cluster.The paper studied the characteristics of life cycle of the mining cluster by exploring the mining investment clusters,and constructed the conceptual model of the coordinated development of the  urban and regional based on the analysis of mining cluster formation mechanism and evolution,summed up that the mining cluster and regional collaboration development must achieve three functional changes:the local government functions from main function to the service function;the polarization center from a single structure to the multi-structure;region from regional development to the enhancement of the overall change.Only when we realize the transformation of the regional urban functions can we achieve the cooperative development of clusters and regions.

Key words: mining cluster, regional cooperative development, evolution
