The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on October 13 handed over its final research on a development strategy for Da Nang city.
The research aims to help build development strategies for the central port city that prioritize harmony in development between urban and rural areas, ensuring a sustainable future for Da Nang and its neighbouring provinces, including Thua Thien-Hue, Quang Nam and Quang Ngai.
The research focuses on major targets of development strategies that promote regional connection in the key economic zone of the central region, a master plan on major city development up till 2025 and short-term programmes of action till 2015 for Da Nang city.
The project aims to help the central key economic zone avoid problems affecting the northern and southern key economic zones due to poor management of booming investment projects.
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are facing major traffic jams and traffic accidents, serious environmental pollution, dire shortages of dwelling houses, poor management of solid wastes, decrease in tree cover, a surge in crime and a widening gap between rich and poor.
The result of the JICA research was opened to public in an exhibition on the day it was handed over to the Da Nang administration.
Also on display is the result of DaCRISS-funded research to collect public opinion on a development strategy for the central key economic zone as well as a master plan on urban development for Da Nang.
The exhibition, scheduled to last until October 19, is also expected to help ordinary people further understand urban issues related to the city and the region as whole./.
