Strategic innovation research on “dual-carbon” goals and high-quality development of urban green economy in the context of information technology

In information technology, realizing the goal of “dual carbon” and the high-quality development of urban green economy is an essential challenge for contemporary society. This paper explores how to effectively realize this goal with the impetus of technological progress through strategic innovation research. An improved K-means algorithm is used to cluster analyze the relationship between urban economic development and the “dual-carbon” goal. The Study firstly outlines the K-means clustering algorithm, and then proposes an improved algorithm, DT-Kmeans. through the empirical Analysis of cities in central China, this Study finds that the DT-Kmeans algorithm can more accurately analyze the contribution of the city’s dimensions to the economic development. Specific results show that the contributions of the five dimensions of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing are 23.76%, 5.72%, 30.49%, 15.21% and 24.85%, respectively. This indicates that the green dimension impacts urban economic development in the context of “dual carbon”. In addition, the Analysis of new energy use in central China found that the installed capacity of clean energy increased from about 4 million kilowatts in 2015 to more than 8 million kilowatts in 2020, an increase of more than 100%. Through technological innovation and strategy adjustment, the city can simultaneously realize the “double carbon” goal and promote high-quality economic development. © 2023 Along Lai, published by Sciendo.
