Abstract: Beijing'population has experienced a dramatic increase eversince the founding of the People's Republic of China. Population growthin Beijing can be broadly broken down into three major components'natural increase, immigration, and the growth of floating population. Thecontinuous growth of Beijing's population is closely linked with its centralized multi-function. The comprehensive countermeasures to control Beijing's population growth are proposed, for example, decentralizing economicfunctions, including developing the suburbs, developing the metropolitan areaand creating counter-magnetic centers, reforming the administrative and economic systems.
