The so-called "expanding the city" is generally accomplished by "removing counties and setting up districts", that is, changing counties or county-level cities into municipal districts, so that previously relatively independent counties can be brought into the jurisdiction of the city and develop as a whole.
The so-called "removing counties to set up cities" refers to turning counties into county-level cities, aiming at promoting new urbanization and promoting the local and nearby citizenization of agricultural transfer population.
Judging from the cities expanded this time, Chengdu, Sichuan and Changchun, Jilin are both provincial capital cities. Wuhu ranks second in GDP in Anhui Province and Yantai ranks third in GDP in Shandong Province. It can be seen that "removing counties and setting up districts" is generally a measure when the city develops to a certain stage and the next development and construction is facing constraints. For example, on 200 1, Hangzhou announced the cancellation of Xiaoshan City and Yuhang City and the establishment of Xiaoshan District and Yuhang District.
Lin Tuo, a professor at the School of Urban and Regional Sciences of East China Normal University, told the paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the above-mentioned series of urban expansion actions are aimed at giving advantageous areas more room for development, enhancing the comprehensive carrying capacity of resources and optimizing the allocation.

With the approval of the State Council, Penglai City and Changdao County were abolished and Penglai District of Yantai City was established. The original administrative areas of Penglai City and Changdao County were Penglai District.

In the planning of Bohai Bay cross-sea passage connecting Yantai, Shandong Province and Dalian, Liaoning Province, the starting point of Shandong side is Penglai-Long Island.
At this year's two sessions of the National People's Congress, Zhang Shuping, deputy to the National People's Congress and secretary of Yantai Municipal Party Committee, suggested speeding up the construction of the Bohai Strait direct express channel to solve the land-sea connection problem between Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula.

Xingtai, Hebei Province: Three counties were abolished and two districts were established.

Revocation of Xingtai County, Xingtai County township streets were placed under the jurisdiction of Du Xiang District and Xindu District respectively; Revoke Renxian County and establish Renze District of Xingtai City; Nanhe County was abolished and Nanhe District of Xingtai City was established.
This time, Xingtai City abolished three counties in one fell swoop and set up two new districts, and the adjustment of administrative divisions was quite large.

After adjustment, the urban area of Xingtai has expanded from 1.62 square kilometers to 2,945 square kilometers, and the population has increased from 860,000 to 1.95 million.
It is understood that Xingtai City is facing the embarrassment of "projects and other places" because the urban area is too small, counting down in Hebei Province. After this zoning adjustment, it will leave enough space for the sustainable construction of the city in the future, and effectively solve the restriction of land "bottleneck" on the industrialization and urbanization development of Xingtai.

Regong art and Huangnan Tibetan opera originated here are listed in the representative list of human intangible cultural heritage.

According to Jiangxi media reports, from the map, Longnan, located in the southwest of Ganzhou, and Ruijin, previously located in the northeast, together with the urban area in the northwest of Ganzhou, just constitute the "development triangle" of Ganzhou City.
Longnan and Ruijin are located at the left and right ends of Ganzhou City, which are closer to neighboring provinces-Longnan is adjacent to Guangdong Province and Ruijin is adjacent to Fujian Province, which is conducive to stimulating investment and attracting talents.

Its geographical position is special, not only in the strategic construction area of the national Yangtze River Economic Belt and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River urban agglomeration, but also in the "intersection area" of Dongting Lake Ecological Economic Zone and the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and the "radiation area" of Wuhan City Circle and Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Circle.

The person in charge said that in recent years, the economic strength of Wuhu County and Fanchang County has been significantly enhanced, and the economic and social ties with the downtown area of Wuhu have become increasingly close. Residents' commuting, communication, interregional residence and employment consumption are increasingly frequent, and economic, transportation and urban facilities are gradually integrated with the central city. In this context, the removal of counties and districts is conducive to breaking down the barriers of urban-rural integration, expanding the absorption of surrounding people into cities for employment, and promoting the urbanization of agricultural transfer population.
