The new areas or new districts of the People's Republic of China are new urban districts that are given special economic and development support by the Chinese Central Government or regional government. New areas are divided into two varieties: administrative or management and further divided into levels: state-level, provincial-level, and prefectural-level.

Types

An administrative new area is one in which the territory of the new area and an administrative district coincide, and is either administered simultaneously by the district's governing body or by a joint office under the one institution with two names arrangement.

A management new area is one in which its territory may or may not directly coincide with that of a county level division (i.e. it may includes only parts of county level divisions), and is administered by a management committee dispatched by the municipal government, existing separate from the county level division governments, themselves. A management new area committee is generally responsible for economic development, planning and other related functions, while the county level division governments exercise responsibility over social management and other related functions.

State-level new areas

The State-level new areas of the People's Republic of China are special economic-development zones supported by the central government. The zones are parts of cities at various levels in the formal hierarchy but are known as "national-level" or "state-level" in reference to the preferential policies and privileges that are granted directly by the State Council. These privileges are to encourage and attract new developments (particularly foreign direct investment) to speed up the city's economy.
