Theoretically, regions with rich natural resources often tend to develop resource-based industries more intensively, resulting in resource-dependent land development. China’s cities exhibit certain exceptions. Natural resource dependence (NRD) plays a relatively positive role the total factor productivity change (TFPCH) these cities, primarily attributable their mature technological efficiency. However, while such impacts exist, overall effect remains limited. Many China still face challenges achieving sustainable growth. This raises key question: why have some failed achieve development? In order explore root cause of this problem, paper systematically analyses impact on TFPCH, and its governance mechanism based balanced panel data 112 from 2003 2021, using Super-SBM-DEA-Malmquist index method first stage, OLS model second stage. The main findings are as follows: First, NRD has significantly especially growing regenerating cities. empirical results further validate applicability blessing theory China. Second, government regulation dampening TFPCH which suggests that future development intervention should be moderately reduced, emphasis placed stimulating city’s own autonomous mobility endogenous drive. Third, heterogeneity show promotional is mainly realized through improvement technical Fourth, analysis moderation shows research (R&D) intensity positively moderating Through stepwise approach, reveals cannot level R&D low, it for (RB) hypothesis city. not only provide new perspectives theoretical research, but also important policy recommendations use worldwide.
