However, Hoa Binh province’s urbanisation rate currently accounts for only 54.69 percent of the national average, which was 38.4 percent in 2018.

Director of the provincial department Ngo Ngoc Duc said it is possible for the province to achieve the target of raising the urbanisation rate to 25 percent in 2020 proposed in the Resolution of the provincial Party Committee’s Congress.

The construction department has submitted a plan to seek approval of the provincial People’s Committee on an urban development programme and another to implement the programme, which set the target of bringing the urbanisation rate to 25 percent in 2020.

Based on the programme and the province’s urban development plan, the Hoa Binh People’s Committee assigned tasks for each sector and locality to improve the rate of urbanisation. The Departments of Home Affairs and Construction have worked with districts to review urban development plans for respective urban areas to promptly supplement contents of urban development, ensuring consistency in the implementation of a project to re-arrange and re-organise administrative units in the province in 2020.

The plan aims to have 50,000 people live in urban areas, raising the number of residents in urban areas to 201,668 out of the 960,480 residents as regulated.

Hoa Binh city mobilizes financial sources to invest in infrastructure to realise the target of becoming a second-tiered urban area in 2020.

Competent agencies have provided consultation for the province to implement measures on urban development, including those to improve planning quality and urban planning management; those to mobilise finance in urban infrastructure and attract investment in major urban development projects and programmes related to Hanoi capital city.

Agencies also focus on new urban development projects which are in line with current infrastructure and public works, as well as launch mechanisms and policies encouraging investment in urban infrastructure and public-private partnership projects.

The province has prioritised in specific tasks to bolster investment and development in three core urban areas of Hoa Binh city, Luong Son and Mai Chau districts./.
