description Industrial agglomeration is one of the primary driving factors in city creation, and the improvement of urban land green use efficiency (<i>ULGUE</i>) is an important part in green development. This study concentrates on the impact of industrial agglomeration on <i>ULGUE</i> in the process of urbanization. Based on the panel data of 283 cities in China from 2003 to 2019, this paper constructs a super efficiency SBM-DEA model including unexpected outputs to evaluate <i>ULGUE</i>. Using a spatial Durbin model, we examine the spatial spillover effects of manufacturing and productive services agglomeration on <i>ULGUE</i>. The results show the following: (1) There has been fluctuation over the study period, which can be classified into three stages, and <i>ULGUE</i> in China as a whole is on the rise. (2) Chinese <i>ULGUE</i> has increased greatly in the western and northeastern regions, changed massively in the eastern region, and stayed largely steady in the middle region. The degree of manufacturing agglomeration is further improved, exhibiting a feature resembling a ladder, with high concentrations in the southeast coastal region and low concentrations in the interior. Production service industry agglomeration intensity has declined, revealing a more dispersed spatial pattern. (3) The rise in local <i>ULGUE</i> will have a beneficial impact on the <i>ULGUE</i> of spatially correlated regions, according to <i>ULGUE</i>’s relatively strong spillover effect. (4) Manufacturing agglomerations can enhance the <i>ULGUE</i> in the neighborhood, but it is not obvious how this will impact the local regions. The agglomeration of production service industry can enhance the improvement of <i>ULGUE</i> in local and spatially correlated regions, but the direct effect is weak. (5) The integration of the manufacturing and productive service industry does not quite strengthen its stimulatory effects on the growth of <i>ULGUE</i>.
