Abstract In the construction of a unified national market, the crosscity flow and borrowing of innovative elements will become an important driving force for the improvement of urban innovation capabilities and the highquality coordinated development of regional economy. Taking the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration as an example, this paper constructs a measurement system of the borrowing scale of innovation elements from four perspectives: borrowing R&D personnel investment, borrowing R&D capital investment, borrowing R&D institutions, and borrowing innovation achievements, and empirically analyzes the mechanism of borrowing scale on the development of urban innovation capabilities. The study found that: There is the borrowing scale effect of innovation factors among the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations; The borrowing of the three elements of R&D institutions, innovation achievements, and R&D personnel investment can promote the improvement of urban innovation output, with the promotion effect of borrowing R&D institutions the strongest, followed by that of borrowing achievements; Urban population size, degree of opening to the outside world, and level of industrial diversification have positive effects on borrowing investment in R&D personnel, R&D institutions, and borrowing innovation achievements, respectively.
