Symbiosis and co-prosperity:industrial intelligence development and inclusive green growth
In order to meet the practical needs of the people to equitably share the fruits of economic development,urban economic construction should be based on the coordinated development of the environment and the economy,which means that high-quality ur-ban development should be realized through a greener and more inclusive path.Under the wave of the fourth industrial revolution,in-dustrial intelligence,characterized by the application of industrial robots,provides an opportunity to promote the green and inclusive de-velopment of Chinese cities.Based on the construction of the Malmquist-Luenberger index to scientifically measure the level of inclu-sive green growth in cities,this study empirically examined the impact of industrial intelligence development on inclusive green growth and its internal mechanisms based on industrial robot application data from the International Federation of Robotics(IFR)from 2007 to 2020 and city-level data in China using various models.The study found that:① Industrial intelligence significantly contributed to in-clusive green growth in cities,and the effect was more obvious in cities with lower financial support,a higher level of information infra-structure construction,and greater innovation and entrepreneurial dynamics,demonstrating significant heterogeneity in geographical lo-cation characteristics.② As far as the channels of action were concerned,industrial intelligence was mainly realized through the chan-nels of promoting digital technology innovation and industrial structure upgrading.③ The development of industrial intelligence had a positive spatial spillover effect on the enhancement of the inclusive green level of cities.Furthermore,if the driving effect could be effec-tively realized,the regional sustainable development capacity would be effectively enhanced.This paper seeks to enrich the empirical evidence and empirical research on the benefits of industrial intelligence development in promoting inclusive green growth in cities and to provide policy references for the development of smart manufacturing and inclusive green economic growth in cities.
