Abstract	Under the goal of dual-carbon, promoting the industrial transformation of resource-based cities is an important measure to achieve carbon emission reduction. As a result, this paper chooses the panel data for 108 resource-based cities spanning 2010 to 2019, systematically evaluates the effects of Industrial Transformation and Upgrading Demonstration Zones (ITUDZ) policy on the carbon emission intensity using the difference-in-differences (DID) method. The research results reveal that the establishment of ITUDZ significantly reduces the carbon emission intensity of resource-based cities. Robustness tests confirm the accuracy of these results. The intermediary mechanism suggests that the establishment of the ITUDZ suppresses carbon emission intensity through green technology innovation and resource allocation efficiency. The heterogeneity analysis demonstrates that both the eastern and western regions of resource-based cities exhibit a greater ability to reduce carbon emission intensity and the effect of regenerative cities is more pronounced.
