Evaluation of industrial green development and industrial green competitiveness: Evidence from Chinese urban agglomerations

Urban agglomerations are important regional economic units. Industrial green development and green competitiveness are of great significance to the sustainable development of urban agglomerations.

description	Urban agglomerations are important regional economic units. Industrial green development and green competitiveness are of great significance to the sustainable development of urban agglomerations. This study, for the first time, uses the Entropy TOPSIS model and Theil index to reveal differences between industrial green development in China’s three major urban agglomerations. Factor and hierarchical clustering analysis is also used to evaluate and compare industrial green competitiveness in these agglomerations. Four important findings arise from the analysis.
