For instance, all land management information systems, construction licensing, and planning will be systematically formed to maintain, update, and exploit data to serve urban management and development. City dwellers' electronic health record data, security data, and data on the establishment and operation of enterprises and individual business households will be complete.
Meanwhile, Hanoi City determined that digital transformation is closely linked to smart city development.
