Green development has already been a vital part of China's high-quality economic progress in the future, and accelerating the restructuring and improvement of the industrial structure plays a crucial roll in promoting a regional green economy. In this article, based on the data of 278 prefecture-level cities in China from 2011 to 2020, the SBM directional distance function and Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) index are used to gauge regional green total factor productivity (GTFP). The spatial Durbin model is also introduced to investigate the spatial spillover mechanism of GTFP and its influencing factors under the optimized and upgraded industrial structure. The study indicates that the optimization of the industrial structure have an important effect in promoting the growth of GTFP. Specifically, industrial structure integration has a greater bearing on the increase in GTFP, while there is a difference in the effectiveness of industrial structural advancement and rationalization of GTFP. Economic growth level inhibits the enhancement of GTFP, and urbanization level and industrial agglomeration have a significant negative impact on the enhancement of GTFP in the spatial dimension. On a different hand, foreign investment degree and government intervention level have a significant positive affect on regional GTFP. In addition, this study fills the research gap of the regional industrial structure upgrading influence on GTFP, which has great theory and practice value for promoting China's high quality growth of green economy.
