In addition, delegates heard an overview of the Bac Ninh Urban General Planning project to 2050, with a vision to 2075, focusing on: developing functional areas according to the regional assignment and the established provincial planning; developing commerce and services associated with the regional structure and policy breakthroughs for the new development stage; developing tourism by leveraging potential and advantages after the provincial merger; preserving geographically and culturally-historically characteristic regions; and developing the network of dynamic transport infrastructure.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assigned departments and sectors to coordinate closely with the consulting unit to continue perfecting the dossiers, maps, data, and related contents; while urgently implementing the process of seeking opinions from Central ministries and sectors as prescribed, ensuring quality, progress, and the feasibility of the planning projects./.
