This includes developing two existing urban areas into Type IV ones, namely Chi Ne township in Lac Thuy district and Bo township in Kim Boi district. Additionally, three new urban areas will be developed, including Dung Phong commune in Cao Phong district, An Nghia commune in Lac Son district, and Van Mai commune in Mai Chau district, all meeting the criteria for a Type V urban area. This would raise the urbanisation rate of the province to about 43.19% - 50.57%.
