Abstract: Abstract Green development is a necessary requirement for high-quality economic development. China needs to adhere to an innovation-driven development strategy to provide technological support for green development. Given that National High-Tech Zones (NHTZs) serve as platforms for promoting technological innovation and industrial innovation, this paper theoretically analyzes the impact of NHTZs establishment policy on regional green development, uses green technology progress as a metric for green development, and conducts an empirical test using a difference-in-differences (DID) model. The findings suggest that the establishment of NHTZs can significantly promote regional green development. This paper provides a decision-making basis for government departments to further develop high-level NHTZs and achieve high-level urban green development.
