The programme will be divided into two components, one of which, to take place from September, 2011 to June, 2012, will focus on urban transport planning for Da Nang .
In the second component, to be implemented between now and December this year, the Singaporean group and the Da Nang People’s Committee will work together to organise six training courses on the planning and management of urban transport for members of relevant departments, branches and agencies of Da Nang. /.
