Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has approved the sustainable smart city development plan for the 2018-2025 period and beyond towards 2030 with a view to improving the lives of city residents.
Hanoi is expected to become a smart city in the near future.
Under the
plan, four chains of smart cities will be formed centring on Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho
Chi Minh City and Can Tho.
The plan aims to build sustainable smart
cities that are based on green growth and sustainable development, utilising
the strength and potential of the cities in order to raise the living standards
of their residents.
Another target of the plan is to guarantee the
effective participation of residents and organisations in managing the smart
cities, to enhance the performance of government agencies, and increase the
cities’ competitiveness.
By 2020, Vietnam aims to complete the legal
foundation for smart city development and take preparatory steps to pilot the
project in a number of cities, and by 2025, the first phase of the pilot
project on smart city development will be implemented.
