Abstract

Drawing on panel data from 284 Chinese cities covering the period 2009–2022, this study examines the effects of land redevelopment on industrial structure upgrading from three dimensions: overall industrial structure upgrading (OISU), industrial structure tertiarization (IST), and industrial structure rationalization (ISR). The study further investigates the mediating mechanisms, the moderating role of government attention to urban regeneration, and the threshold effects of urbanization. The main findings are as follows: (1) Land redevelopment significantly promotes industrial structure upgrading by fostering innovation agglomeration and stimulating consumption expansion. (2) Commercial land redevelopment, as well as redevelopment through both market-based and government-led transfers, exerts a significant positive effect on industrial structure upgrading. (3) Government attention to urban regeneration strengthens the positive impact of land redevelopment on OISU and ISR, and cities that placed earlier attention on urban regeneration experience a stronger promoting effect of land redevelopment on industrial structure upgrading. However, the redevelopment of industrial-use land offsets the positive moderating role of government attention. (4) The positive effects of land redevelopment on industrial structure upgrading intensify with higher levels of urbanization, whereas the expansion of incremental land exhibits the opposite trend.
