This study systematically explores the intrinsic mechanism and implementation path of the coordinated development of urban green infrastructure (UGI) and carbon neutrality. Based on the four-dimensional analysis framework of input carbon effect synergy institutional guarantee, the contribution characteristics of UGI to carbon neutrality were revealed through remote sensing inversion, model simulation, and multiple case comparisons. Indirect carbon reduction is significantly higher than direct carbon sequestration, becoming the dominant path; In the landscape pattern, compact clustered patches have both carbon fixation and emission reduction advantages, while their shape complexity offsets their carbon fixation gains due to the increase in carbon emissions; The configuration of institutional tools is closely related to carbon performance, and the combination of mandatory greening indicators and incentive policies can enhance synergistic benefits. Research shows that incremental expansion cities should prioritize accumulating carbon fixed scale, while stock optimization cities should focus on spatial pattern adjustment to amplify indirect emission reduction benefits.
