Concluding the conference, PPC Chairman Vuong Quoc Tuan highly appreciated the sense of responsibility of related departments, agencies and consultants in preparing for formulation of the provincial master plan and general urban planning.

He added, the master plans of the 2 former Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces were clearly outlined in the political report submitted to the provincial Party Congress for the 2025–2030 tenure.

Especially, they were contributed by many dedicated recommendations from the Politburo and central ministries on the policy of striving to become centrally governed cities.

PPC Chairman stressed both master plans must define a strategic vision to create breakthroughs in socio-economic development, combining short-term, medium-term, and long-term perspectives.

He urged the departments and units to closely follow the province’s development strategies in parallel with the national development goals.

In addition, an objective and comprehensive study should be conducted to promptly complete the 2 planning projects with a global vision, demonstrating a clear development strategy and long-term outlook, creating breakthroughs in development space, maximizing advantages of the strategic transport infrastructure and preserving cultural identity.
