BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Beijing has recently unveiled an action plan for Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei coordinated development in 2018-2020, according to Beijing Daily on Monday.
According to the report, Beijing will increase efforts to phase out non-capital functions in following three years and speed up the exit of general manufacturing enterprises. By 2020, it will move about 1,000 general manufacturing enterprises away.
It is worth noting that under the action plan, Beijing will support Xiongan New Area to build three schools and one general hospital and promote construction of the projects such as Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park in Xiongan and the Beijing-Xiongan high-speed intercity rail.
Meanwhile, it will accelerate the coordinated development of transportation. By 2020, a "one-hour commuting circle" between central districts of Beijing, Tianjin and Shijiazhuang and their key peripheral towns, and a "one-hour traffic circle" between Beijing, and its surrounding Tianjin, Baoding and Tangshan will be formed.
In terms of industry, Beijing will strengthen cooperation with Tianjin and Hebei to promote overall transformation and upgrading of regional industries. It will help accelerate the construction of the projects such as second phase of the Shougang Jingtang project and the BBMG Corporation's demonstration industrial park in Caofeidian, Hebei.
