Upgrading the industrial structure is a key factor empowering high-quality development of cities and con-structing a new development pattern.The new quality productivi-ty is an important force to promote the upgrading of industrial structure at present.Based on annual reports of local govern-ments in seven major urban agglomerations from 2011 to 2021.The analysis employs text analysis and a two-way fixed effects model.The findings reveal that local government attention to new quality productive forces significantly promotes the upgra-ding of urban industrial structure.This effect is more pro-nounced in super-large and above cities,as well as in eastern and central urban agglomerations.Mechanism analysis indicates that local government attention to new quality productive forces promotes the upgrading of urban industrial structure by increas-ing the stock of human capital and fixed asset investment in cit-ies.The study provides policy implications for adjusting local government governance orientation,implementing effective in-dustrial upgrading policies,and promoting the upgrading of ur-ban industrial structure and the development of new quality pro-ductive forces in China.
