The scheme aims to concretise orientations to urban system development according to the provincial master plan and relevant sectoral ones that have been approved, in line with the national urban development programme. It involves gradually investing in building a comprehensive urban network across the province in phases, adhering to urban development criteria. It also includes creating plans and development paths for the local urban system until 2025, with a vision towards 2030; pooling resources to invest in building and developing the urban system throughout the province, improving the quality and architectural landscape of urban areas in a modern and sophisticated manner, while remaining culturally appropriate for each urban area.
This lays a foundation to set up projects and evaluate the upgrading of urban areas, as well as establish wards and towns in the future. The goal by 2025 is to have 13 urban areas in the entire province, consisting of 10 existing urban areas and three new ones, namly Luong Son district meeting the criteria for a Type IV urban area, and the communes of Phong Phu in Tan Lac district and Nhan Nghia in Lac Son district meeting the criteria for a Type V urban area. The urbanisation rate of the province is targeted at around 39% - 46.16%.
By 2030, the aim is to further increase the number of urban areas to 16. This includes developing two existing urban areas into Type IV ones, namely Chi Ne township in Lac Thuy district and Bo township in Kim Boi district. Additionally, three new urban areas will be developed, including Dung Phong commune in Cao Phong district, An Nghia commune in Lac Son district, and Van Mai commune in Mai Chau district, all meeting the criteria for a Type V urban area. This would raise the urbanisation rate of the province to about 43.19% - 50.57%.
A leader of the department also unveiled specific plans to upgrade the types of existing urban areas, the intended locations for new urban areas, urban development targets by 2025, and a priority investment list for developing the framework infrastructure and key connection points of the urban system across the province.
The estimated capital investment need for urban construction in the province until 2025, with orientations towards 2030, is projected to exceed 138 trillion VND. Of this, the capital for framework infrastructure and key technical infrastructure connecting the urban transportation system is approximately 83.8 billion VND, and that for developing existing urban areas and the expected locations for new urban areas around 54.2 billion VND.
Six solution groups related to capital sources, investment attraction, policies, climate-adaptive urban development, human resources, construction and planning were also outlined.
