Based on the programme and the province’s urban development plan, the Hoa Binh People’s Committee assigned tasks for each sector and locality to improve the rate of urbanisation. The Departments of Home Affairs and Construction have worked with districts to review urban development plans for respective urban areas to promptly supplement contents of urban development, ensuring consistency in the implementation of a project to re-arrange and re-organise administrative units in the province in 2020.

The plan aims to have 50,000 people live in urban areas, raising the number of residents in urban areas to 201,668 out of the 960,480 residents as regulated.
