First-ever plan for urban, rural systems takes shape
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha chaired in Hanoi on July 31 a meeting on the first-ever plan for urban and rural systems, stressing the role of rural areas in urbanisation. This is Vietnam’s sectoral plan that goes into detail on managing and developing urban and rural systems, based on the national master plan.
This plan aims to connect urban and rural spaces to the national socio-economic development zones and regions with specific focuses, while effectively linking to the infrastructure system. The plan also aims to reduce urban development gaps by supporting rural areas through small-scale urban zones and suburbs, while strengthening the linkages between them.
