The study developed a model to see how urban land-use policies affect city development in Beijing. The model showed that more people and businesses are moving to the outskirts, creating new centers outside the city center. This matches the government's plan to have more sub-centers around Beijing. The model helps city planners in China make better decisions about urban development.
