Accordingly, the submission along the Han River and the East Coast covers over 6,600 hectares. Danang Bayside Subpision is about 1,530ha, while Lien Chieu Seaport Subpision covers 1,285ha. The high-tech sub-zone and Green Core Center Submission have an area of almost 5,600ha and 4,780ha, respectively. The area of the Innovation Subpision is about 3,900ha.
At the Hillside Subpision, the city is calling for investment in the development of a smart urban and non-tariff complex in Hoa Vang district. At the Innovation Subpision, appeals are getting underway for investment flows into the Hoa Xuan creative space project that will have a large software park and an associated service area in combination with residential housing.
Similarly, at Danang High-Tech Park, the city is calling for investment in a data center, an office building complex, and an IT exhibition area. At Lien Chieu Seaport Subpision, the city is seeking funding for logistics projects, including in Lien Chieu Port and Kim Lien Cargo Terminal Logistics Centre.
The six inner urban districts will be oriented for redevelopment according to the ‘compact city’ model, reducing the construction density of the existing central urban core area, improving the land use coefficient, developing more urban amenities, and integrating with the transport system.
Existing urban areas with a lower population density than the core ones will develop with a higher population and construction density in accordance with regulations, forming public green spaces in residential areas and public spaces in residential areas.
According to the plan, the city will expand its new urban areas to the west and northwest sides. By 2030, urban areas will cover nine communes and part of Hoa Ninh Commune, with an urbanization rate of over 90 per cent.
Danang plans to develop Hoa Vang district to meet the urban standards of Grade 4. About 80 per cent of communes are eligible to become wards and to establish towns as soon as possible. By 2030, Hoa Vang will be home to 430,000 people, of which the permanent population is about 380,000. The administrative center will be located in Hoa Phong.
The goal of the plan for this decade and beyond is to build Danang into one of the major socioeconomic centers of the country and a Southeast Asian center for startups, innovation, tourism, trade, finance, logistics, high-tech industry, IT, and supporting industries.
