Da Nang (VNA) – Chairman of the People’sCommittee of central Da Nang city Huynh Duc Tho chaired an open dialogue withmore than 300 local young people on March 26 to learn first-hand their ideas todevelop a smart city.

The dialogue also aimed to motivate the youth’s sense of responsibilityand power in building the city.

Transforming Da Nang into a smart city is the city’s proper policy inan effort to improve local living standards and building a sustainablydeveloping and worth-living city, said Duong Quan from the Youth Union of the DaNang University of Technology.

Quan voiced the fact that little attention has been paidto creative ideas of students at local universities and colleges in order totranslate them into reality. He urged the city to provide support to nurtureand develop such ideas and apply them widely.

Mai Phuoc Tuan, an IT worker of Lien Chieu district, saidcommune and ward-based IT workers are key to the plan but most of them holdmore than one position. As a result, it is very difficult to deploy smartapplications at local level, he noted. Tuan suggested the city increase thenumber of IT workers for communes and wards and provide them with exclusive mechanism.

At the event, many governmental agencies proposed thecity ask for the youth’s help in developing smart management software in termsof demography, land management, construction management and more.

Tho listened to all opinions and answered questions of young delegates.He vowed to address the problems and create all possible conditions for theyoung people to develop their ideas. He called the youth across the city totake part in building the city as a modern and worth-living one.-VNA
