Adjustments boost efficiency in Xiong'an

The Xiong'an New Area in Hebei province has taken a solid step towards transitioning into an urban management system, with newly adjusted departments and committees now operational. The move is part of efforts to support high-standard construction and high-quality development in the national-level new area.

Located about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing, Xiong'an was established in April 2017 to advance the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, a key national strategy.

The area convened a mobilization meeting on Saturday to announce organizational adjustments. According to the adjustments, the area now houses 21 working departments and four subdistrict administrative committees. The changes aim to enhance institutional functions, including in education, healthcare, technological innovation, industrial development, administrative approvals and urban governance.
