Abstract
Based on the panel data of 268 cities in China from 2011 to 2019, this paper constructs a multi-dimensional measurement system of urban ecological quality and green economy level, and evaluates the effect of sponge city policy construction by using the double difference method after. The research shows that the construction of sponge city has a influence on promoting the development of urban ecological level and the level of green economy. The effect test shows that sponge cities mainly improve the ecological quality and promote economic development by promoting green technology innovation and improving the degree of government intervention to achieve policy effects. Therefore, we should vigorously promote the pilot construction of sponge cities, encourage scientific and technological innovation, pay attention to regional common development and expand the scope and depth of sponge city application in due time.
