Grasp the Key of New Development Paradigm

Along the North Canal in Beijing’s Tongzhou District, crane towers erect on construction sites, vehicles shuttle back and forth, busy workers can be seen all over the place. Here, Asia’s largest underground transportation hub is under construction. As an integrated transportation hub, Beijing Sub-center Station is an important fulcrum of “Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei on the Track” and a landmark project of relieving Beijing’s non-essential functions. This project is expected to be put operational in 2025.

At that time, from the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center(Beijing MC), or Beijing’s sub-center, you can reach the Capital Airport within 15 minutes, reach the Daxing International Airport and Hebei Province’s Tangshan City within 35 minutes, and reach the Binhai New Area of Tianjin and Hebei’s Xiongan New Area within 1 hour. This project will greatly help sub-center to take over non-capital functions of Beijing.

To anticipate Beijing’s future, we must look at the city through the lenses of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development. From the special program of upgrading urban management, to the high-quality development of the city’s sub-center, as well as the construction of the modern capital metropolitan area, Beijing strives for deep integration in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and greater coordination with Tianjin and Hebei with a view of building a world-class city cluster.

In recent years, following the concept that “cities are built by and for the people”, Beijing moves faster to change the development models of super-large and mega cities. Therefore, in the governance of the capital as well as the super-large city, Beijing has accumulated extensive experience for modernizing China’s governance system and capability, and has presented the “Beijing Model” for Chinese modernization.
