Abstract: As a labor-intensive industry with a strong industrial driving force and high-technology integration, green buildings offer some comparative advantages. Driven by the concept of green development, green buildings are ushering in a period of opportunity for integrated development among multiple fields. Therefore, this research will select the panel data of the financial industry and the green buildings industry in 2014 and 2018, respectively, in 31 provinces in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) and, through the method of factor analysis, will innovatively construct a financial industry development index and a green building Development Index for each province in China. Through the coupling coordination model, it studies the development level of the financial industry and green buildings in various provinces, in order to deeply explore the path and mechanism of coordinated development between the two. The results show that the financial industry and green buildings in the eastern coastal areas have a high level of coupling, and the coupling and coordinated development have a greater degree of correlation. The potential for coupling and coordination in Central China is developing for the better, while volatility in the Northeast and Northwest regions is relatively large. From the time dimension angle, the degree of coupling and coordination between green buildings and the financial industry in China is generally low, and in the transitional stage, from the brink of unbalanced development to a primary stage of coordinated development. Accordingly, this paper proposes that local government should pay attention to the coordination relationship between green buildings and financial industry development and formulate a coordination mechanism between their growth according to local conditions, so as to promote the correct interactive advancement of the two.
