A 360ha urban area will be built in Luong Tai District in the northern province of Bac Ninh, with an investment capital of more than VND3.6 trillion (US$154 million).

The plan for the project in Thua Town, which was recently approved by the provincial People’s Committee, will be divided into an administrative centre and an urban area.

The investment will be jointly funded by the State budget and the private sector. Nearly VND1 trillion will be spent for housing and the urban area, nearly VND1.2 trillion for the transport system, VND207 billion for the administrative centre, VND160 billion for healthcare and VND145 billion for education.

The administrative area will hold the headquarters of the district People’s Council, People’s Committee, Han Thuyen secondary school, a sport centre, a park and roads.

Meanwhile, the urban area planning will be detailed from now until 2020 to attract infrastructure projects in housing, parks, education and training. — VNS
