This paper takes 260 prefecture-level cities and above in China as the research object and comprehensively calculates the development level of inclusive green growth in Chinese cities from 2010 to 2022. Under the pilot policy framework for industry-finance collaboration, this study empirically examines the impact and transmission mechanisms of industry-finance collaboration on urban inclusive green growth. It is found that the level of urban inclusive green growth has shown a continuous upward trend, with a significant increase particularly after the implementation of industry-finance collaboration policies. Empirical results indicate that industry-finance cooperation facilitates the development of inclusive green growth in cities, and this conclusion remains valid after multiple robustness tests. Industry-finance cooperation empowers the development of inclusive green growth in cities through three channels: enhancing technological innovation, optimizing industrial structure, and improving employment quality. The enabling effects of industry-finance cooperation on inclusive green growth exhibit heterogeneity across resource endowments, urban tiers, and digital development levels. Specifically, the enabling effects of industry-finance collaboration are more pronounced in non-resource-based cities, developed cities, and cities with low digital development levels.
