To advance the global sustainable development agenda and uphold emission reduction commitments of Paris Agreement, this study is dedicated to exploring potential digital infrastructure construction in fostering carbon reductions. Drawing on panel data from 249 cities China spanning period 2010 2021, we empirically analyze impact, mechanisms, heterogeneous effects urban emissions using a two-way fixed-effect model. Furthermore, delve into carbon-reducing new-type construction. The research findings indicate that can significantly decrease emissions; it achieves by enhancing green innovation heightening public environmental awareness, thereby further reducing emissions. In city samples located western regions, with higher government fiscal expenditures better foundations for new energy utilization, promotional effect reductions more pronounced. Additionally, demonstrates significant emissions, where well developed, even evident. This deepens our understanding mechanisms through which digitization empowers regional variations involved, providing empirical evidence governments formulate differentiated policies future research, plan expand scope investigation countries regions globally; concurrently, will conduct an in-depth analysis long-term
