Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group is China’s capital city group. It is one of China’s three major city groups, and is the third pole of the growth of China’s economic development. It includes Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Baoding, Zhangjiakou, Chengde, Tangshan, Qinhuangdao, Langfang, Cangzhou. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group was formed in 2004, and has made rapid development. But at the same time, it also exposed some problems in the development process, such as economic ties of inner cities of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group are not close enough. These problems have seriously affected the healthy development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group.Because of including the capital city- Beijing, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group is different from the general city group. It is a special form of city group. Therefore, the paper analyzes basic meaning, basic features, formation conditions, formation mechanism, basic functions, and basic classification of the capital city group; and analyzes Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group by perspectives of urban system, industrial structure, urbanization. The paper also builds evaluation system of capital city group, and uses it to analyze Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group. Finally, the paper used comparative study to analyze Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group and Tokyo city group.The main conclusions of this paper include the contents of the capital city group, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group, evaluation system of capital city group, comparative study of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei city group and Tokyo city group.The capital city groupThe basic connotation of the capital city group includes general meaning and special meaning. General meaning includes the following eight aspects: 1, the basic properties of the capital city group is a geographical concept; 2, the capital city group is the agglomerations of cities; 3, the capital city group is an organic system; 4, the capital city group combines different levels of cities; 5, the capital city group not only is an economy, but also is the complex of social and cultural; 6, the capital city group has developed transportation networks and information exchange networks; 7, the capital city group has scientific mechanism; 8, the capital city group has superior geographical conditions.
