It is understood that the adjustment plan of some administrative divisions in Jieyang City is: the urban area consists of Rongcheng District and Jiedong District, and Jiedong County is all incorporated into Jieyang City, that is, Jiedong County is abolished and Jiedong District is established, so that the urban area scale is increased from the original 18 1 square kilometer to 103 1 square kilometer, and the registered population is increased to/.

Since Jieyang was founded 20 years ago, its economy and society have developed rapidly. However, because the urban area is only 1, 8 1 square kilometer, the development space is too small, and the shortage of land resources has become a bottleneck restricting the further development of the city. For a long time, the situation of "small horse-drawn carts" has weakened the radiation-driven function of urban centers and failed to play a better role in stimulating radiation. With the navigation of Jieyang Chaoshan Airport and the construction of airport economic zone, Jieyang's urban expansion and upgrading has ushered in new opportunities. At the beginning of last year, in order to build a water city with Lingnan characteristics and build a new area in eastern Guangdong, the Jieyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government decided to apply for expanding the area after careful investigation and scientific demonstration, so as to solve the contradictions and problems in Jieyang's economic and social development, give play to the radiation capacity of the central city, promote the development of airport economy and accelerate the urbanization process of Jieyang in Shantou and Chaozhou.
