Overview of the conference.

According to the report from the Department of Construction, the 1/2000 scale Zone Plan Scheme for Sub-zone No. 2, Viet Tri ward and Thanh Mieu ward covers a planning research scope located within the administrative boundaries of Viet Tri ward and Thanh Mieu ward, with a planning area scale of approximately 2,185.12 hectares. It borders the existing residential area in Viet Tri ward to the North; the Red River to the South; the residential area in Thanh Mieu ward to the East; and Van Phu and Nong Trang wards to the West. The planning horizon runs to 2040 (following the orientation in the Adjusted Master Plan for Viet Tri City, Phu Tho Province to 2040) or until replaced by an overall review and adjustment.

The scheme has been developed to guarantee alignment and synchronization with the province’s socio-economic development goals, orientations, and strategies, as well as the overall spatial development orientation of the Viet Tri City Master Plan to 2040 approved by the Prime Minister.

The objective is to renovate and embellish the existing urban area, upgrade infrastructure, restructure land funds, and supplement missing urban functions; combining preservation with development, promoting the heritage and cultural values of the Ancestral Land alongside a modern, ecological, and smart urban area. During the formulation process, the scheme gathered opinions from departments, sectors, and localities, organized appraisals, absorbed feedback, provided explanations, and finalized dossiers in accordance with regulations.

Leadership of the Department of Construction reporting at the conference.

After hearing discussion opinions from leaders of departments and sectors, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Vu Viet Van requested the Department of Construction to fully absorb comments raised at the conference, urgently reviewing, revising, and perfecting the dossiers.

Among these, focus must be placed on spatial development orientations, identifying architectural and urban landscape highlights; guaranteeing synchronization across technical parameters for electricity, water, telecommunications infrastructure, and other essential works. Concurrently, it is necessary to calculate and forecast future population growth scale and density to formulate appropriate planning options—contributing to elevating the quality of urban space and the daily lives of citizens.
