China's Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regions are also actively building metropolitan areas.
The modern capital city circle consists of three circles: "commuter circle", "functional circle" and "industrial circle".
Among them, the "commuter circle" refers to the border area around Beijing, which enhances the effect of urbanization and integrates with the eastern and southern regions of Beijing; the "functional circle" mainly refers to Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Xiong'an New Area, through complementary functions, to strengthen joint development, Jointly lead the high-quality development of the region; "industrial circle" refers to giving full play to the supporting role of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei node cities, further promoting the strengthening of the industrial chain and supplementing the chain, improving the supporting capabilities of the industry, and jointly expanding the industrial increment.
"The 'commuting circle' around Beijing is an important hinterland for the development of Beijing, and there are a large number of Beijing's employed population, about 400,000 people. Among them, the three northern counties (Sanhe City, Langfang City, Hebei Province, Dachang Hui Autonomous County, and Xianghe County) are There are 175,000 people. It can be said that the most urgent task in the construction of a modern capital metropolitan area is to build a 'commuting circle'." Mu Peng said.
Mu Peng said that this year, the construction of an integrated high-quality development demonstration zone between Tongzhou District of Beijing and Beisan County of Hebei Province will be accelerated.
According to the national deployment, Beijing will accelerate the innovation of the system and mechanism of the demonstration zone, and promote the interconnection of infrastructure, joint control and joint governance of the ecological environment, coordinated industrial development, and joint construction and sharing of public services.
Up to now, the "commuting circle", "functional circle" and "industrial circle" of the modern capital metropolitan area account for more than 40% of the GDP of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Since 2015, Beijing enterprises have invested more than 1.5 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below) in the metropolitan area, and the cumulative turnover of technology contracts from Beijing to Tianjin and Hebei has exceeded 210 billion yuan.
Mu Peng said that in the future, the integrated high-quality development of Tongzhou District and Beisan County will continue to accelerate and become an important support for the construction of a modern capital metropolitan area.
