The development of new-type urbanization (NTU) represents a crucial strategic approach to fostering new drivers economic growth. Despite its importance, limited research has explored the effects and underlying mechanisms through which NTU influences quality productive forces (NQPFs), key indicators emerging dynamism. Addressing this gap, present study analyzes panel data from 283 Chinese cities spanning 2009 2022, applying difference-in-differences (DID) model empirically evaluate impact New-Type Urbanization Pilot Policy (NTUPP) on NQPFs. findings reveal that NTUPP significant positive effect NQPFs, conclusion is supported by series robustness endogeneity checks. Specifically, NTUPP’s implementation corresponds an average increase 1.1% in policy facilitates NQPF growth primarily such as talent agglomeration optimal resource allocation. Notably, particularly effective boosting NQPFs at lower initial levels. Since inherently reflect green productivity, NTU’s emphasis green, low-carbon, civilizational features markedly amplifies policy’s while focus smart aspects appears mitigate effect. These contribute valuable empirical insights context, highlighting potential accelerate drivers.
