Image: Bac Ninh’s future urban development plans
The People’s Committee of Bac Ninh province recently organized a conference to review the progress and implementation plans for 7 new urban area projects that have secured investors.
Accordingly, the units have developed detailed schedules for each project, formulated planning tasks and detailed 1/500 plans, and established compensation and site clearance (GPMB) councils. They have also conducted surveys, measurements, and created maps for the GPMB areas, as well as completed ownership statistics.
At the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, Dao Quang Khai, instructed the agencies, units, localities, and investors to urgently implement the planned tasks with the motto “running and queuing at the same time” and “only discussing doing, not retreating.” He emphasized turning difficulties into challenges and motivation. Implementing these urban projects in the province was identified as a key task for the last six months of 2025.
The provincial leaders requested that the departments and sectors study and advise on establishing a provincial steering committee, headed by the Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee. Similarly, the towns, wards, districts, and city should consider forming steering committees at their level to focus on assigning specific tasks to members, including identifying a “green channel” and parallel tasks. The determination is to implement the projects as soon as possible and at the fastest pace. The steering committee will review progress weekly and hold meetings every two weeks.
The Department of Agriculture and Environment was instructed to expedite the progress of map measurements for submission to specialized agencies for appraisal before June 10 and provide land maps to the localities.
The Department of Construction, the Department of Agriculture and Environment, and the localities within the project boundaries were asked to coordinate closely with the investors. They should provide simultaneous support and solutions for obtaining feedback from the residents, appraising planning tasks and plans, compensating for site clearance, land allocation, and environmental impact assessments. The heads of agencies, units, and localities must take responsibility for the implementation progress.
Investors are expected to establish a base, allocate sufficient human resources with the necessary capabilities and experience to implement the projects, and appoint specific contacts to report and coordinate with the departments, sectors, and localities. They should also select areas and divide the implementation into phases, adopting an approach of “doing the easy first, then the difficult.”
