The projects cover a range of areas, including regional integration, environmental rehabilitation and high-tech industries, according to plans released at a government conference on Wednesday.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei regional integration project will be the top priority, with 36 sub-projects on construction, relocation, transportation and energy high on agenda.
