On February 6th, Thu Duc City held a conference to announce its master plan up to 2040 and promote investment in over 535 projects with a total value of over 800 trillion VND. This is a significant breakthrough in shaping the future of Thu Duc as an innovative and highly interactive urban area.
Strategic Significance of Thu Duc City’s Master Plan
According to Chairman Hoang Tung, the master plan serves not only as a crucial legal basis but also opens opportunities for the city to introduce potential projects and attract investors both domestically and internationally. He highlighted this as a memorable milestone, clearly demonstrating cooperation between Thu Duc City and businesses.
Thu Duc City is expected to become an international financial center, a modern university town, and an expanded high-tech zone by 2030. This will not only boost local economy but also contribute to making Ho Chi Minh City a national hub for innovation and creativity.
Development Goals and Implementation Plans
Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, Phan Van Mai, stressed the importance of effective implementation of the master plan. He urged Thu Duc City to widely publicize the plan to each locality, ensuring that residents understand and agree with it. Additionally, detailed plans for each district must be completed by September this year.
Furthermore, Thu Duc City needs to focus on priority areas such as completing Thu Thiem District, expanding transportation infrastructure, and strengthening regional connectivity with Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Ba Ria – Vung Tau. These solutions aim to maximize the geographic and economic advantages of the region.
Challenges and Solutions
Despite notable achievements, Thu Duc City still faces significant challenges like infrastructure overload, traffic congestion, and flooding. Deputy Minister of Construction, Nguyen Tuong Van, suggested that the city should review its district planning, strictly manage land use, and prioritize environmental protection.
Transport infrastructure plays a key role in addressing these issues. The master plan includes developing nine urban and inter-regional railway lines, building Long Thanh International Airport, and implementing inter-regional connection routes like Cat Lai – Phu Huu Port Link, Ring Road 3, and Ho Chi Minh – Chon Thanh Expressway.
Conclusion
The master plan for Thu Duc City until 2040 is not only an opportunity for socio-economic development but also a strong commitment to building a creative and sustainable city. To achieve this goal, close cooperation among the government, businesses, and citizens is essential. Let’s work together to make Thu Duc City a new growth pole in the southern region.
