Industrial Transfer and Spatial Structure Optimization of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province

In order to fully promote the industrial coordination development in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province and form a development structure with rational spatial patterns and optimized allocation of various industries, this study uses the market potential model based on the new economic geography to, quantitatively analyse the market potential and spatial pattern of Beijing, Tianjin and various cities in Hebei Province from 2012 to 2019, obtains the dominant industries of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province. Then, the study adopts the industrial location quotient model to perform empirical study on the industrial conditions of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province and explore the location and routing problem of industrial transfer for Beijing from the perspectives of possibility and feasibility by taking into account the development objectives and positioning of the urban agglomeration in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province. The following conclusions are obtained: 1) The spatial pattern of the regional market potential of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province centres on Beijing and Tianjin, and the market potential gradually decreases from inside to outside. There are three tiers: Beijing and Tianjin have the greatest market potentials; followed by Langfang, Tangshan, Baoding, Cangzhou and Shijiazhuang, and Qinhuangdao, Handan, Xingtai, Hengshui, Chengde and Zhangjiakou have the lowest market potentials. 2) The market shares of Langfang, Tangshan, Baoding, Cangzhou, Chengde and Zhangjiakou are mainly from Beijing and Tianjin and have the closest connections with these two cities. 3) The market potential gaps between Hebei and Beijing and Tianjin are on an increasing trend. Therefore, to achieve coordinated development in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province, Beijing and Tianjin must give full play to their radiating and driving roles and selectively shift some of the industries to Hebei Province.
