Abstract Based on the panel data of 156 cities in China from 2008 to 2017, this paper empirically tests the impact of industrial division of labor on the high-quality growth of 11 state-level urban agglomerations. There are following findings: (1) The the industrial division of labor in urban agglomeration can not only significantly promote high-quality growth, but also help to narrow the growth gap between non-central cities and central cities; (2) For non-central cities, the promotion effect of state-level urban agglomerations is more significant in southern urban agglomeration and multi-central urban agglomeration; (3) The test results of the Mediating Effect Model show that the improvement of the level of construction transportation infrastructure can accelerate the industrial division of labor within the urban agglomeration, and promote the city’s high-quality growth. Therefore, in order to achieve high-quality balanced growth of urban agglomeration, it is necessary for us to accelerate the construction of transportation infrastructure in non-central urban, further strengthen industrial division of labor and cooperation, optimize the spatial distribution of production factors, and promote the complementary functions of central cities and non-central cities.
