Abstract
<jats:p>Currently, metropolises generally face the problem of population expansion in their development process, so they all regard urban population relocation as an important goal of urban development and planning. In April 2017, the state proposed the millennium plan for constructing Xiong'an New Area, which has significant impacts on centrally relocating Beijing's non-capital functions and adjusting the urban layout and spatial structure of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Reasonably assessing the contribution of Xiong'an New Area's construction to Beijing's population relocation and revealing its impacts on Beijing's urban development pattern are of great significance for the construction of both Beijing and Xiong'an New Area. Based on the population relocation idea of "driving population through industries", this study regards the construction of Xiong'an New Area as a policy shock promoting the optimization of Beijing's industrial structure and population relocation. Using data and materials such as Beijing's historical land use distribution maps, remote sensing images, Points of Interest (POI), industrial input-output tables, and statistical yearbooks, it measures and analyzes the impacts of industrial relocation on Beijing's population and land use under the background of Xiong'an New Area's construction by adopting methods including contour tree method, system dynamics, and multi-agent and cellular automaton models.</jats:p>
