By firmly focusing on the key task of relocating functions nonessential to Beijing's role as the capital, Beijing has embarked on a new journey of development, with continuous efforts made for the special operations to upgrade the city through function transfer and remediation. So far, over 3,000 general manufacturing enterprises have been relocated, along with nearly 1,000 regional specialized markets and logistics centers, eight municipal universities and colleges, and 15 municipal medical institutions. Land for urban and rural construction has been reduced by 130 square kilometers. Beijing has also been strictly controlling the increase in functions nonessential to its role as the capital. By strictly enforcing the List of Prohibited and Restricted Industries, the city has rejected over 25,000 registration applications inconsistent with its positioning of the "four centers", thereby granting greater space for the development of high-end, cutting-edge and sophisticated sectors. The proportion of newly established market entities in the high-tech industries such as science and technology, commerce, culture, and information has risen from 40.7 percent in 2013 to 66.1 percent in 2023. Additionally, steady progress has been made in the reconfiguration of functions of the core area. Through the implementation of the Development Control Plan for core area Serving Capital Functions, the densities of population, buildings, commercial activities, and tourism activities have all gradually decreased, achieving the preliminary goal of creating a quieter core area. The city's development pattern has been changed from growth through gathering resources to development through relocation of non-capital functions, while its focus has been shifted from urban management to governance of a mega-city, fostering a path of high-quality development with reduced resource consumption.

Full support has been provided for the construction of Xiong'an New Area to enhance its comprehensive carrying capacity. Three schools and one hospital (i.e. Xiong'an Beihai Kindergarten, Xiong'an Shijia Hutong Primary School, Xiong'an Campus of Beijing No. 4 Middle School, and Xiong'an Xuanwu Hospital), whose establishment was aided by Beijing have opened their doors. Over 40 schools and five medical institutions have established cooperative connections with Xiong'an New Area. In Xiong'an New Area, a sub-park of Zhongguancun Science Park has been inaugurated and operated, attracting over 3,000 high-tech enterprises from Beijing. The water quality of Baiyangdian Lake has been upgraded from Below Class V to Class III. The accelerated construction of a direct transportation system has resulted in the completion and opening of the Beijing-Xiong'an Intercity Railway and the Beijing-Xiong, facilitating convenient travel between Beijing and Xiong'an.

With a focus on coordinated development of Beijing's main area and Beijing Municipal Administrative Center (BMC), with the latter supporting the main area, new strides have been made for the high-quality development of BMC. The overall urban framework has been fully established, while sustained investment of CNY 100 billion has ensured changes every year in every aspects. The Central Green Forest Park has opened to the public, while three major cultural buildings, namely Beijing Performing Arts Centre, Beijing City Library, and the Grand Canal Museum of Beijing have been unveiled. The first and second phases of the administrative office area have been completed and put into use, and the relocation of two batches of municipal-level government bodies has been successfully concluded. The plan for a national demonstration zone for green development has been implemented, and the construction of a national green exchange has commenced. The Universal Beijing Resort has grandly opened. Six major industrial clusters including that for digital economy have taken shape in an accelerated manner. Efforts have been made to promote high-quality integrated development in Tongzhou District and three counties in Hebei Province (i.e. Sanhe City, Dachang Hui Autonomous County and Xianghe County), with the establishment and operation of governing bodies and executive committees. Five consecutive project promotion and negotiation meetings have been held, with over 210 projects signed, totaling over CNY 150 billion in intended investment, driving continuous improvement in the soft power of these three counties.

Efforts to promote collaborative innovation and industrial cooperation have opened up new prospects for regional high-quality development. The value of technical contracts between Beijing and Tianjin and Hebei has increased from CNY 7.12 billion in 2013 to CNY 74.87 billion in 2023, with an average annual growth rate of 26.5 percent. Over 10,000 branches of Zhongguancun enterprises have been established in Tianjin and Hebei, accelerating the formation of an "R&D in Beijing, manufacturing in Tianjin-Hebei" model. A new pattern of industrial collaboration, named the "six industrial chains and five industrial clusters," has been established, with six key industrial chains, including biomedicine, outlined, and the first Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei industrial chain supply chain conference held, resulting in the signing of 152 projects with an investment exceeding 100 billion yuan. Cooperation levels among key industrial platforms have been elevated, with nearly 5,000 registered enterprises in the Tianjin Binhai-Zhongguancun Science Park and nearly 10,000 registered enterprises in the Beijing Daxing International Airport Economic Zone. Over 270 Beijing-Tianjin projects valued at over CNY 100 million each have been implemented in the Beijing-Hebei Collaborative Development Demonstration Zone in Caofeidian.

Deepening both hard and soft integration, transportation integration has achieved new breakthroughs. With the "Phoenix Rising" of the Beijing Daxing International Airport, the international competitiveness of Beijing's "dual-hub" airport system has significantly improved. The construction of railways in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, including  Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-Speed Railway, Beijing-Harbin High-Speed Railway, and Beijing-Tangshan Intercity Railway, has been accelerated, along with the completion and operation of railway stations such as Qinghe, Chaoyang, and Fengtai. This has led to the preliminary multi-hub layout of "seven railway stations and two airports" in Beijing. Nine expressways including the Beijing-Kunming, Beijing-Taipei, and Beijing-Qinhuangdao expressways have been opened to traffic, forming a basic transportation circle with Beijing, Tianjin and Xiong'an New Area reachable within half an hour and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei's major cities reachable within one to one and a half hours. Supported by regional transportation integration, a modern capital metropolitan area consisting of commuting circles around the Beijing area, functional circles around Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, and industrial circles around node cities is being developed.

By strengthening joint prevention, control, and governance, new achievements have been made in ecological environment construction. Adhering to the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, efforts have been made to jointly build a beautiful Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region characterized by blue skies, clear waters, and green land. In 2023, Beijing's average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was 32 micrograms per cubic meter, a decrease of 64.2 percent compared to 2013. Beijing and Hebei provinces have signed agreements on cross-regional ecological protection compensation for the upper reaches of Miyun Reservoir and the Guanting Reservoir, jointly promoting water source protection in the Miyun Reservoir and ecological restoration in the Guanting Reservoir.

Enhancing collaboration in developing and sharing public services has led to the improvement in people's livelihoods. Fifteen characteristic vocational education groups (alliances) and 24 university alliances have been established among the three regions. Over 9,300 designated medical institutions have implemented direct settlement of outpatient expenses for medical treatment across regions. The 12345 citizen service hotline has achieved interconnection, and a framework agreement for cooperation on social security card resident services has been signed. Post-disaster recovery and reconstruction have been accelerated, with planning and project construction strengthened in the three regions to enhance disaster prevention and reduction capabilities. Beijing and Zhangjiakou have jointly presented a "simple, safe, and splendid" Winter Olympics.

Deepening market integration reforms inject new vitality into coordinated development. Through reforms in institutional mechanisms, new vitality of market entities has been continuously unleashed. The "1+5" cooperation framework agreement on business environment in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei has been implemented, with the first batch of 165 qualification recognition items and 203 administrative service items in the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone mutually recognized. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region Entrepreneur Alliance has been established to promote the development of the private economy together.
