Under the current regulations, a provincially run urban center functions as a domestic economic, cultural, scientific-technical, administrative, education-training, tourist and service center and traffic and exchange hub with the role of promoting socio-economic development of one or more than one inter-provincial territory.
A provincially run urban center has a total population of at least 500,000 with the population density of at least 10,000 people/km2.
The non-agricultural labor in the inner area accounts for at least 85% of total labor./.
