Background This study explores the spatiotemporal characteristics and key driving factors of intensive cropland green innovation transitions in Yangtze River Delta region (YRD) from 2000 to 2020. The aim is understand how urbanization, agricultural restructuring, productivity improvements have influenced sustainability. Methods A comprehensive analytical framework was constructed three dimensions: landscape attributes, structural production attributes. Using pattern indices, Shannon diversity index, total factor (GTFP) calculated via data envelopment analysis (DEA), this quantified changes use practices over two decades. Results findings revealed significant reduction, particularly highly urbanized areas such as Shanghai Jiangsu, driven by rapid urban expansion industrialization. Agricultural improved cities like Ningbo Nantong, while experienced a decline planting diversity. GTFP significantly increased across most due technological advancements, especially Nanjing Hangzhou. However, regions Hefei showed limited progress adoption. Intensive Cropland undergoing transformation, there are obvious signs internal differentiation economically developed regions, with more pronounced regions. Conclusion concludes that region-specific strategies necessary balance growth preservation, optimize structures, promote technologies ensure sustainable development YRD.

To balance economic development with environmental sustainability and address the challenges posed by new wave of technological innovation, China has focused on leveraging synergistic effects technology finance. This approach aims to promote urban green innovation (UGTI), which is critical in achieving innovation-driven, high-quality development. study draws two phases China’s “Promoting Integration Technology Finance Pilot” policy, implemented 2011 2016. It utilizes data from 283 cities 2007 2021 employs a multiple-period difference-in-differences (DID) model examine effect, mechanisms, heterogeneity science (sci-tech) finance policies UGTI. The results indicate that (1) sci-tech significantly foster (2) mechanism analysis reveals stimulate UGTI enhancing agglomeration scientific talent factor allocation. (3) shows have considerably greater effect eastern non-resource-based than western resource-based cities. Furthermore, strengthening intellectual property protection, advancing digitalization, implementing suitable financial regulations amplify policies.
