On October 28, the People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province said it had urged localities to carry out the task of classifying urban areas and upgrading administrative urban areas by 2030.
Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee requested districts, towns and cities to urgently complete the preparation and submission of dossiers for urban development programs to 2030, with a vision to 2045 of localities, ensuring feasibility and synchronization with the Urban Development Program of Khanh Hoa province.
In addition, localities need to organize the development of a plan to implement the program simultaneously with the process of formulating the urban development program, ensuring timely implementation of necessary tasks and work immediately after the urban development program is approved by competent authorities; organize a review of the current status and level of urban infrastructure development of communes, wards and towns to compare with the standards and criteria applicable to the area where the ward is expected to be established...
On that basis, the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities (especially Cam Ranh city, Ninh Hoa town, Van Ninh district, Cam Lam district) synthesize the proposals and needs of the units to develop a project to establish districts/towns/cities, as a basis for implementing the roadmap for urban classification and upgrading administrative units from now until 2030.
It is known that the total funding requirement for the implementation of the Urban Development Program until 2030 (from total social investment capital) is estimated at about 1,299,000 billion VND. Of which, the period until 2025 is 549,053 billion VND; the period 2026 - 2030 is 749,947 billion VND.
By 2030, Khanh Hoa will be a centrally-governed city with 9 district-level administrative units (2 cities, 2 towns, 3 districts and 2 counties).
In the period of 2026 - 2030, Khanh Hoa continues to complete the criteria of a type I urban area - a centrally-run city; the affiliated urban areas focus on implementing projects to create momentum for socio-economic development, complete low criteria and standards according to the planned urban type, deploy the establishment, recognition, and upgrading of a number of urban areas.
