With
great potentials and advantages, Haiphong has been recognized as a first-class
city at national level; however, it is currently facing many challenges in
urban development.
Since
the Amendment of Haiphong Construction Master Plan to 2025 and vision to 2050
was approved by the Prime Minister, Haiphong has completed many key
infrastructure projects such as Binh Bridge, Rao Bridge No.2, Nga 5 – Cat Bi
Airport New Urban Area…
Some
other significant infrastructure projects are also in progress of construction,
including Hanoi – Haiphong Expressway, Tan Vu – Lach Huyen Highway, Haiphong
International Gateway Port…
Haiphong
urban view has been changed; the urban scale, technical infrastructure and
social infrastructure have been step by step improved. In the coming time,
Haiphong will carry out urban development toward 3 directions as follows:
First
direction is to develop toward Dinh Vu – Cat Hai in order to create a
turning-point in development of seaport, logistic services, industry and
tourism.
Second
direction is to develop township along Cam river banks along with the city’s
political and administrative center in order to comprehensively improve the
urban view which represents Haiphong urban characteristics.
Third
direction is to develop township along Lach Tray river banks and in Do Son in
order to make a watershed in shaping view of an eco-city.
Besides,
the city pays special attention to develop urban greenery, public transport,
and land for transport...; focuses on setting up and implementing zoning plans under
Dinh Vu – Cat Hai Economic Zone Master Plan, and specific plans for water
supply, drainage, water source protection, cemeteries, park and greenery
system, and lighting system...
In
addition, the city also concentrates on planning a synchronous transport system
by road, railway, sea and waterway in order to create links for regional and
international connection. Especially, Haiphong will cooperate with
international organizations to form up maritime space, coastal zones, and preparedness
for climate change and sea level rise.
