保定拟打造京津冀中心

Baoding should be made into a regional hub city as part of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster as the framework of a regional hub city has been established after the recent administrative division adjustment in the city, according to Yan Liying, the deputy mayor of Baoding, Hebei.

近日，河北保定市副市长闫立英指出，近期保定进行了城市区划调整，已经具备建设区域中心城市的基本框架，保定应该打造成京津冀核心城市群区域中心城市。

Authorized by the State Council, Baoding made some changes to its administrative divisions, expanding them from 3 to 5.

根据国务院近期批复，河北保定调整了部分行政区划，原市辖区范围由3个变成了5个。

Accordingly, the urban area in Baoding has expanded to 2,531 sq km from 312 sq km.

受此影响，保定市区面积由原来的312平方公里增加到2531平方公里。
