The city of knowledge was laid down in june 2010 and was given the task of leading a new engine for industrial transformation in guangdong province and china, particularly for the development of the knowledge economy. In order to accelerate the development of the city of knowledge, in september 2011 the people's government of guangdong province published the " catalogue of administrative competences at the provincial level in guangdong province " , the first repositioning of which was carried out by the city of knowledge management in china and new guangzhou。
After 14 years of development and construction, the city of knowledge has been transformed from a new, modern city with international visibility, into an important vehicle for innovation in the construction of the bay of australasia in port-au-prince, with broader and more urgent competencies for urban and industrial development。
The decision was issued to enable provincial governments to implement precise empowerment based on the current state of development of the city of knowledge and its needs. The 23 provincial executive powers entrusted to the city of knowledge management council, which are closely aligned with the current requirements for the development of the city of knowledge, will further enhance its competence in the areas of development, industrial development and upgrading of integrated urban functions。
For example, in the area of development construction, in the context of the rapid industrial development of the city of knowledge and the multiplication of engineering projects, provincial administrative powers such as the “safe production permit for construction construction enterprises” and the “certification of builders to practice” have been given to further facilitate the operation and operation of enterprises and professionals in the field of engineering construction in the city of knowledge. In the area of industrial development, for example, with regard to the high concentration of enterprises in the field of biomedicine and health-care foods in the city of knowledge, administrative authority has been given to provinces, such as the "advertisement review of special medical foods for special use " , the "booking of a third-party platform for online food transactions", to provide a more accessible and efficient government service environment for enterprises in the relevant sectors and to achieve non-compliance。
At the same time, with the growing number of people in the city of knowledge, the population's need for high-quality medical services has become even more pressing. This time, the state has been given administrative powers at the provincial level in the city of knowledge, such as the medical institutions establishment and the medical institutions practice register. This, together with the state's policy of expanding access to health care, will not only help to attract further private capital from society, foreign investment in high-end health services in the city of knowledge and provide quality health services to the local population; it will also help to interact and integrate with the biomedicine industry, which is well developed in the city of knowledge; it will provide applications such as conceptual validation, medium-temporal transformation and certification of new medicines; and it will enhance the collaborative innovation and integrated competitiveness of the entire industrial chain of research and development-clinical-medium-production. In addition, in the area of integrated urban functions, with a view to better meeting the needs of all categories of human beings, provincial executive powers, such as the creation of the museum and the creation of a cultural and performing group, have been given to promote the development of new consumer practices in the civil service and to improve the quality and well-being of the city of knowledge。

Policy-driven test field change
As the only bilateral cooperation project at the national level in the bay of hong kong, the cumulative advantages of the various policies of the city of knowledge have been highlighted and the opening of the gates has increased。
In july 2016, the state council formally endorsed the launching of a comprehensive reform experiment on the use and protection of intellectual property rights in the city of knowledge, which became china's first and only pilot field for intellectual property reform, with the mission of building an intellectual property-led and innovative city based in guangdong, irradiated south china and modeling the nation, to explore the experience of building a strong intellectual property power。

The knowledge city censorship will meet the demands of strategic and emerging industries for tax insurance policies such as insurance processing, tax logistics, and tax research and development, and will help the knowledge city enterprises and products to move out and become more deeply integrated into international industrial chains, value chains and supply chains。
From the initial 123 square kilometres, to 178 square kilometres in 2018 and to 232 square kilometres in 2020, the two expanding knowledge cities have changed at an alarming rate, with the city's volume, level and capacity rising steadily, carrying out the mission of “knowledge creation new highlands, international port of free talent, bay area innovative solutions and open cooperation zones”. The decision is an important step towards implementing the general regulations and regulations and increasing the decentralization of the city of knowledge. It will further promote the development of the city of knowledge and help to build national knowledge centres with global impact。
