Designated cities and towns in the region are clustered into distinct functional areas (Three Axes and Four Areas) based on their specific advantages and strategic positioning, surrounding the core areas, i.e. Beijing and Tianjin, in multiple circles. Each functional area will focus on strengthening the cooperation within the area, to enhance its overall strength and achieve its own development goals. All functional areas will coordinate and complement each other's advantages in a mutually beneficial manner, which will help push forward the economic and industrial development of Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei region. While the node cities in suburban areas will play an important role in connecting Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region with major cities and manufacturing bases in neighboring provinces, which will help expand the economic and industrial development to neighboring provinces and promote the overall development of the Bohai-Rim Economic Zone. 6 Source: www.exploringtianjin.com The government investment of over RMB 1.5 trillion in transportation networks liking cities within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to other areas outside the region will help boost travel, economic and investment activities and bring huge business opportunities in the future . A highway network consisting of more than 800 roads and expressways in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has been completed. More than 40 inter-provincial bus lines have been in operation between Beijing and 17 neighboring areas in Hebei, carrying 400,000 passengers every day. 24 intercity railway lines, covering the major cities, key towns and main industrial zones in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, will be complete by 2050, cutting travel time between the major cities in the region to around one to two hour. More than 10 high-speed train lines which are expected to cover a distance of 1,900 km, connecting Beijing with neighboring cities. Beijing Daxing International Airport, designed to become an international aviation hub and a comprehensive transport hub in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, started operation in September 2019. The airport will have a capacity to handle 75 million passengers by 7 2025. Example of the implementation of industrial relocation in Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei region . Tianjin Binhai New Area is one of the significant area for the implementation of industrial relocation from Beijing to Tianjin, as it is the intersectional area of the Bohai Sea economic zone and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, as well as the area combining the port, industrial and free trade zones in Tianjin. Moreover, the area has been positioned by Tianjin's government to be a window of opening-up in northern China, a high-level modern manufacturing and R&D conversion base and international logistics center. The government is accelerating the construction of industrial infrastructure and facilities to support the relocation of manufacturing bases within the region, including: - Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Big Data Comprehensive Pilot Area - Ninghe Beijing-Tianjin Cooperation Demonstration Area - Wuqing Beijing Tianjin Industrial New Town - Baodi Beijing-Tianjin Zhongguancun Science and Technology Town - TIPark (industrial park) established by Dongli District (Tianjin) and Tsinghua University (Beijing) . At present, industrial parks as well as science and technology parks in the region, especially in Tianjin become ever more attractive to domestic and foreign enterprises: - Jingbin Industrial Park in Wuqing District (Tianjin) has attracted about 40 robot manufacturers and R&D companies. 8 - Tianjin Binhai-Zhongguancun Science Park has attracted up to 900 enterprises and projects. New and relocated industries and services are expected to grow in clusters through the promotion of development zones, which will bolster competition and innovation in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region Areas expected to have industry clusters and investment: Hebei Tianjin: - Baoding: Regional public administration facilities, - Wuqing: Hi-tech research public services in healthcare and in IT services, education, solar industry new materials bio- - Cangzhou: Automobile and heavy industrial medicine and machinery production biologics - Handan: Research facilities for pharmaceuticals, -Xiqing: E-commerce, bio-medicine and chemical materials logistics and Wuqing management - Jize: Forging and foundry Xiqing services - Langfang: Hi-tech ICT manufacturing, financial and Yongqing data services - Shijiazhuang: Logistics, customs and other modern Jize services - Yongqing: Garments, wholesale and retail sector Handan 9 Xiong‟an New Area ... new home for Beijing's non-capital functions and relocated population • Xiong‟an New Area, a new area of “national significance” in Hebei province following the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong New Area, was established in April 2017 to mainly serve as a location for relocating many of Beijing‟s non-capital functions, an innovation demonstration zone and the commercial and economic hub of Beijing- Tianjin-Hebei region. • Major industries to thrive in the area include information technology, biotechnology, genetic engineering, new materials, modern services, and high-end medical equipment. • As of 2019, more than 100 Chinese and foreign hi-tech companies have obtained commerce registration in Xiong‟an, including China's technology giants including Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu. Source: chinadaily.com.cn • By 2035, Xiong‟an will become a modern and digital city with relatively strong competitiveness, and will be a significant part of the world-class Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city cluster, effectively performing Beijing's non-capital functions. 10 11 Agenda Overview of Jing-Jin-Ji area Overview of Beijing’s economy Overview of Beijing’s startup ecosystems Overview of Beijing’s banking industry 12 Beijing's economy maintained a stable economic growth rate at over 6.0% for the past 5 years, although growth decelerated in Q1/2020 Beijing’s GDP • The major objective of Beijing‟s economic development is to maintain a relatively fast but steady pace of high-quality economic growth. Its main development strategy is to drive development by innovation. As a result, the city's total expenditure in research and development accounts for 9.5% of its GDP, far beyond that of the nation (2.19% of GDP). • Beijing‟s GDP growth kept pace with that of China. Beijing’s per capita GDP reached USD 23,381, ranking 1st in the country, and reaching the level of developed countries. • However, during the outbreak of COVID-19 in Q1/2020, secondary industries (manufacturing and construction) and service sectors related to private consumption were severely hit during the lockdown.

Since the Reform and Opening- up Policy in 1978, major cities in China have experienced significant polycentric transition manifested by their new spatial policy framework and reshaped spatial structure. The polycentric transformation has provoked academics’ interests on structural and performance analysis in quantitative ways recently. However, little research investigates the nature of (re)formation and implementation of polycentric development policies in Chinese cities from a processual and critical perspective.

As a result, the land price in an urban area is not only affected by the city’s own factors, but also by its interaction with nearby cities. Understanding the characteristics, types, and patterns of urban interaction is of critical importance in regulating the land market and promoting coordinated regional development. In this study, we integrated a gravity model with an improved Voronoi diagram model to investigate the gravitational characteristics, types of action, gravitational patterns, and problems of land market development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration region based on social, economic, transportation, and comprehensive land-price data from 2017. The results showed that the gravitational value of land prices for Beijing, Tianjin, Langfang, and Tangshan cities (11.24–63.35) is significantly higher than that for other cities (0–6.09). The gravitational structures are closely connected for cities around Beijing and Tianjin, but loosely connected for peripheral cities.

A new mathematical expression of water shortage loss was proposed in order to describe the random uncertainty and economic attributes of water resources. Then, Gumbel copula with a new method of parameter estimation was introduced to model the joint probabilistic characteristics for water supply and water use in situations when sufBcient data is unavailable. The new parameter estimation method requires only the minimum and maximum values of two variables. The improved Gumbel copula was proved to be reliable based on the RMSEs (root mean square error) and AICs (Akaike information criterion), statis- tical tests and upper tail dependence tests. The potential water shortage losses for all the districts of Tianjin were predicated.

To reduce the effects of severe pollution, early warning and emission reduction measures should be executed prior to these haze episodes. In this study, the efficacy of emission reduction procedures during severe pollution episodes was evaluated using the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with chemistry (WRF-Chem). To provide feedback and optimize emergency emission reduction plans, a pollution episode that occurred during the period of December 20–26, 2015, which was characterized by a high warning level, long warning period, and integrated pollution process, was selected as a case study to determine the influence of meteorological conditions and the effects of mitigation measures on heavy haze pollution episodes. Adverse meteorological conditions were found to increase PM2.5 concentrations by approximately 34% during the pollution episode.

  • Comprehensive Evaluation of Social-Economic And
    Comprehensive Evaluation of Social-Economic and Environmental Policies with Emphasize on Reclaimed Water Utilization to Effectively Achieve Sustainable Development: A Case Study in Tianjin, China Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba Nan XIANG※ Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba Feng XU Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba Takeshi MIZUNOYA Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba Yoshiro HIGANO 1. Introduction Water resources are one of the most important things for human existence and social development. Also, with the increase of economic and population in developing countries, water scarcity and pollution problems are becoming more and more prominent recently. Wastewater reuse has drawn increasing attention worldwide as an integral part of water resources management. Such a move is driven by two major forces: scarcity of clean water resources and heightened environmental concerns1. Reclaimed water reuse has been used in large municipalities in many parts of the world, especially in areas where the water resources are scare and population and economic growth is rapid 2. Tianjin is one of the typical areas in point. In 2009, only 2.01% of total water supply in Tianjin comes from reclaimed water reuse, the reclaimed water projects have just started. Reclaimed water reuse practice can be traced back to several centuries ago. And there are a large number of studies on waste water treatment from technological and engineering aspects. However, there is rather rare research on reclaimed water utilization modeling and prediction. In most of these studies, conclusions are derived from simple data analysis and foreign experiences 3.
