From the Greater Beijing to Jing-Jin-Ji: a new northern Chinese megalopolis
Abstract
Jing-Jin-Ji indicates the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan region relaunched by the Chinese Communist Party Secretary in July 2014 as a model of development that assumes the redistribution of economic and industrial resources. On closer inspection, however, is part of a long-term national program, as it is documented by several researches and reports, within an historical geographical territorial pattern and of the overall strategy forecasting the almost total migration from the countryside to the city (rural-urban migration) for 70% of the population, to increase the level of urbanization. And it is also part of a plurimillenary urban re-foundation.
