The invention discloses a biological drying method for treating dewatered sludge of an urban sewage plant, and belongs to the technical field of solid waste treatment. The method comprises the following steps: adding an alkaline cracking agent into the dewatered sludge, uniformly mixing, adding a conditioning agent, and adding an inoculating agent for inoculation or utilizing a biological drying finished product for reflux inoculation; after uniformly stirring the mixture, placing the mixture in a biological drying reactor, and introducing residual heat, wherein the temperature of hot wind is between 80 and 120 DEG C, the ventilation amount of each 1kg of mixture is between 15 and 150 L/h, and the temperature of the reactor is between 50 and 60 DEG C; connecting a hot wind outlet to a gas drier, removing moisture, and treating and discharging residual gas; and performing once mechanical stirring for 3 to 5 minutes per hour, and treating 3 to 5 days to obtain the treated sludge. The residual heat adopted by the method has wide source; a drying product can be used for fueling, fertilizing, preparing a soil modifying agent or directly dumped; the drying time is remarkably reduced; and the biological drying method has the advantages of simple technology, low cost, economy and high efficiency.
