Abstract Improving green total factor productivity(GTFP)through the producer services agglomeration not only frees up environmental capacity for high-quality urban development, but also points out the direction for innovation-driven industrial transformation and upgrading. The paper systematically measures the GTFP and its spatial & temporal characteristics, and conducts an empirical study on the impact of producer services agglomeration on GTFP. The results show that the producer services agglomeration has a significant positive effect on GTFP, and has obvious industry and spatial differences. Compared with the efficiency of green technology, the professional agglomeration and advanced development of producer services are more conducive to the progress of green technology, but there is still much room for improvement in human capital, technological innovation, the local role of opening up and spatial spillover. As a result, the role of producer services agglomeration in promoting GTFP of urban agglomerations across industries and regions is greatly reduced.
