PM approves green urban project

The US$223.87 million project will be implemented over five years in the northern provinces of Ha Giang, Vinh Phuc and the central province of Thua Thien-Hue.

The project aims at improving and expanding the localities’ traffic networks and infrastructure, while creating a driving force for urban development in commerce, services and tourism in order to generate income and better living conditions for participating provinces.

The main scopes of the project include developing urban areas’ traffic networks, building and upgrading infrastructure, improving drainage and environmental hygiene conditions, and building sewage treatment systems with a view to implementing localities’ strategic socio-economic development plans .
