For Le Minh Long, a native in Tan Thinh ward who now lives in Hai Phong city,
the transformation of his homeland is striking with high-rise building,
shopping zones, an array of services, and bustling streets.
Prior to 2010, entertainment options for young people were limited to a handful
of small coffee and fashion shops and eateries. Nowadays, shopping centres
offer everything from retail therapy to cinema experience, helping younger
generations embrace a contemporary and dynamic lifestyle.
Over the recent past,
multiple infrastructure improvement projects have been carried out, including
the upgrade of key streets like Cu Chinh Lan, An Duong Vuong, Ba Trieu, Vo Thi
Sau, Ly Nam De, and Phan Boi Chau. These projects cover sidewalk renovation,
lighting system supplement, and drainage system construction.
Besides, the city has accelerated the site clearance work for the construction
of key projects, helping create a facelift to the locality.
The economic indicators also support the city’s ambition. Over the past three
years, Hoa Binh city has maintained an average economic growth rate of 11.93%
while per capita income is 1.51 times higher than the national level. Besides,
non-agricultural employment has reached 82.2% while the poverty rate has
dropped significantly to 1.38%. According to the Ministry of Construction’s
assessment board, the metrics align with the tier-2 urban standards.
Achieving the tier-2
status, Chairman of the city People’s Committee Pham Anh Quy said, will not
only be a milestone but also a starting point for the city to continue
consolidating and improving its achieved criteria, with the ultimate goal of
improving the living quality of the local residents.
The city, boasting rich cultural, historical and ethnic traits of the
northwestern region, will keep on making breakthroughs and positioning itself
as a political, administrative, economic, cultural, social and
scientific-technical centre of Hoa Binh province.
