Abstract: Abstract This study evaluates the impact of financial support on industrial integration in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) from 2010 to 2022. Using an entropy-weighted coupling coordination model and fixed-effects regression, we analyze the synergy between financial mechanisms and industrial ecosystems. Findings reveal that financial support significantly drives industrial integration, with urbanization acting as a vital multiplier for regional coordination. While Jiangsu and Zhejiang have achieved high-quality coordination, Shanghai faces structural misalignments—including regulatory fragmentation and service overconcentration—that limit its synergistic potential. The study advocates for targeted green finance and cross-regional policy reforms to ensure sustainable, high-quality integration.
