(HBO) - Hoa Binh – Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has approved the province’s urban development programme by 2025 with a vision towards 2030.

Over recent years, the province has
mobilised investment resources for urban development in Hoa Binh city.
According to the Resolution of the 17th provincial Party
Congress in the period of 2020 – 2025, the province aims to reach a
urbanisation rate of 38% by 2025 and 43.18% by 2030.
Implementing the resolution, the province targets to have
an appropriate, harmonious, and modern technical and social infrastructure in
urban areas, a good urban environment, and living quality, proper adaptation to
climate change, and advanced urban architecture.
To promote the role of the geo-strategic position of the
province in the overall development of the northern midlands mountains region
and the Hanoi capital region, Hoa Binh aims to become an urban region with
great economic cultural contributions to the country.
The province will focus on investing in the construction
of technical and social infrastructure and controlling the quality of the urban
environment. It targets a harmonious combination between conservation,
renovation, and new construction of green and ecological cities, enhancing the
climate change resilience in urban areas.
Under its newly-approved urban development programme, the
province targets to reach an urbanisation rate of about 39% - 46.16% by 2025
and about 43.19% - 50.57% by 2030.
From now to 2025, the province expects to have 13 urban
areas. By 2030, another three urban areas are expected.
It is estimated that the province needs 138.07 trillion
VND (5.81 billion USD) for urban construction, including about 83.82 trillion
VND for infrastructure connecting urban areas and about 54.25 trillion VND for
developing urban areas as well as those planned for new urban areas./.
