Abstract: The economy of cities could grow if the government made it easy for businesses to go digital. This will help cities grow better by giving politicians more information. A big reason why towns' economies do well in the long run is that businesses are becoming more digital. The purpose of the study is to find out if making the government digital really does make businesses more likely to go digital, which helps urban economies grow. This is done with information from A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2022 and information made by the urban big data administration office. Most studies show that when the government goes digital, it speeds up the digital change of businesses by a lot. The variety study shows that the policies of a country can be different depending on its location, the type of government it has, and the speed at which its economy grows.

Keywords: digital government; digital transformation; urban business environment; information search costs; urban economic sustainable development.
