| Abstract: | Based on the scenario of enterprises and residents actively practicing green behaviors, this paper constructs a spatial general equilibrium model driven by green behaviors, incorporates green products into production and consumption, analyzes the effects of green industry agglomeration, emission reduction research & development and technological innovation, and trade costs on city green development, and proposes a spatial and temporal variability index for city green development. The results of the study show that cities with a larger share of green industries have lower knowledge innovation costs and significant innovation effects; the difference in the level of actual benefits from innovation between cities increases with the increase in the difference in the share of green industries; and the increase in the cost of intra-regional trade prompts the clustering of green industries in cities with an advantage in green development. Further quantitative results show that the green development level of the Yangtze River Delta city cluster is not high, and the regional development differences are obvious, but the overall level gradually improves, the spatial heterogeneity decreases, and presents a spatial pattern with Shanghai and Suzhou as the "twin peaks", the regional central cities (Nanjing, Hangzhou, Hefei, and Ningbo) as the leading cities, and the metropolitan area effect is obvious.
