Ecological urban area projects have contributed to changing the urban landscape of Luong Son district

Locals are eagerly anticipating their district's official recognition as a township, which will be a turning point in the development of Luong Son, a driving force for the province.

Nguyen Anh Duc, Vice Chairman of the district People's Committee, stated that following the building of the urban development programme for Luong Son by 2045 and the proposal to recognise Luong Son as a tier-4 urban area, the committee has assigned specific tasks to agencies and units to develop implementation plans and methods.

To achieve the set goals, the district is focusing on directing and implementing urban development projects, particularly those related to roads, drainage systems, sidewalks, lighting systems, green spaces, and clean water in Cu Yen, Nhuan Trach, Hoa Son, Tan Vinh and Lam Son communes, and Luong Son town.

In 2024, the district recorded notable socio-economic achievements, with its urbanisation rate reaching approximately 56.1%, up 3.8% year-on-year. The total production value was estimated to increase by 15%, while per capita income stood at 72 million VND (2,830 USD). Its state budget revenue reached about 720 billion VND, surpassing the set target by 52.8%. The total export value was 800 million USD, accounting for 40% of the province's total. Agricultural employment accounted for 32% of the total workforce, 19% lower than the provincial average. Additionally, 97.7% of schools in the district met national standards, 36.7% higher than the provincial average.

In the year, Luong Son handed over 507.36 hectares of clean land to investors and developers for project preparation and commencement. At the same time, it continued to implement key projects of both the province and the district. Once completed, these projects are expected to provide a significant boost, helping Luong Son make socio-economic breakthroughs.

With industrial zones, green urban areas, and a modern, harmonious transportation network, Luong Son is ready to transform itself into a new urban area with renewed vitality. The start of a new year marks new aspirations, new developments, and greater modernisation, with the aim of becoming a dynamic township in Hoa Binh province. Building on its revolutionary traditions and internal strengths, Luong Son is confidently innovating and integrating to soon become a township that borders Hanoi's capital city.
