Western media: Xiong'an will showcase the future of urban development, planned for 2035

Reference News Network reported on April 30. Western media said that Xiong'an was originally an ordinary area in Hebei Province, but China plans to build a future city here. Beijing has announced that it will build Xiong'an into a national-level new area just as important as Shenzhen and Pudong.

According to the Spanish Journal website on April 28, Xiong'an is located 120 kilometers south of Beijing. With the promotion of the central government, it will undergo a rebirth change. The old garment factory and plastic factory in Xiong'an New District are now closed, waiting for new and advanced industries to settle in. Entrepreneurs across the country are looking for business opportunities here. Zhang Da, 24, is looking for a factory for his industrial machinery. He said: "Shanghai and Shenzhen are too big and the competition is too fierce." Basically completed in 2022, the Xiong'an New District will be completed in 2035.

According to the report, Beijing calls Xiong'an a "Millennium Plan", and state media say that it is a new chapter in China's historic transition to harmonious and sustainable development. The Xiong'an New Area covers an area of 2,000 square kilometers and is almost three times the size of New York. The development of the new district will pursue quality rather than quantity, and will limit the population to 5 million. It will be a modern, smart, eco-friendly city, all using clean energy.

The presence of technology companies and research institutions is expected to make Xiong'an a global benchmark. Many enterprises in Zhongguancun, Beijing Science and Technology Park, as well as various scientific research and engineering units under the famous Tsinghua University, will be moved to Xiong'an. Chinese tech giants such as Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent will also open branches there. Alibaba will use big data and cloud computing to comprehensively manage transportation, energy, water and other urban services. Baidu is working on artificial intelligence transportation systems to use driverless cars to avoid signal lights and traffic congestion.

According to the report, the high-speed rail linking Xiong'an to the capital Beijing will be opened by 2020, and the journey only takes half an hour. Xiong'an will become a large-scale urban technology fortress in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as the engine of northern economic development.
