In April 2017, China announced the establishment of Xiongan New Area, spanning three counties in Hebei Province about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing.
Xiongan will be the location for Beijing鈥檚 non-capital functions. The area will become a new home for Beijing鈥檚 colleges, hospitals, business headquarters, and financial and public institutions that meet the requirement of Xiongan鈥檚 status and development.
The document lists overall development goals for the new area. By 2035, Xiongan will basically develop into a modern city that is green, intelligent, and livable, with relatively strong competitiveness and harmonious human-environment interaction.
By the middle of the century, it will become a significant part of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city cluster, effectively performing Beijing鈥檚 non-capital functions.
It will serve as an example of the country鈥檚 high-quality development with world-leading economic and social indicators and a modernized governance system, which will manifest advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics.
Xiongan is expected to become 鈥渁 model city in the history of human development,鈥 the document says.
The document says that priority shall go to ecological protection while the new area is pursuing green development.
With the total area of construction land set at 530 square kilometers, Xiongan will strictly control land use and cap its land development intensity at 30 percent.
About 10 percent of the new area鈥檚 land will be put under permanent protection as basic farmland, while the population density will be no more than 10,000 people per square kilometers.
The document says that Xiongan New Area aims to explore a new pattern for urban-rural development.
Within 50 square kilometers, new types of villages will be developed featuring thriving businesses, a pleasant living environment, sound infrastructure facilities and public services, and efficient grassroots governance.
Xiongan鈥檚 architecture and layout will combine both traditional cultural elements and world鈥檚 best design philosophies. The height of buildings will be limited, except for special districts for commerce and finance functions and business headquarters.
Archeological parks, museums of ancient ruins and exhibition halls will be erected, and the protection of historic cities and villages will be integrated into city construction.
The document says ecological restoration work will be started in Baiyangdian Lake, including restoring the lake鈥檚 area to 360 square kilometers. In the long term, Baiyangdian National Park will be created.
