The program set the target of raising the urbanisation rate to over 50% and the number of urban areas nationwide to about 1,000-1,200 by 2030.
By that time, there will be a number of national and regional urban centers that satisfy health, education-training, and culture standards set for an urban area in the top four ASEAN countries.
Broadband internet will cover more than 80% of the urban households by 2025, and target all of them in the next five years.
By 2045, Vietnam aims to have at least five international urban areas connected with regional and global networks.
Ministries, agencies and People’s Committees of cities and provinces are required to instruct the implementation of major tasks. These tasks include improving the quality of planning management, building harmonious, modern infrastructure adaptive to climate change.
The program also includes devising policies and legal documents to facilitate implementation.
