[Audio] Adjusting the Construction Planning of Kim Thanh District: Opening up directions for traffic and urban development

The space of Kim Thanh district is developed according to the central urban model of Phu Thai town.

Kim Thanh district has developed a plan to adjust the district's construction planning until 2030, with a vision to 2050. The adjustment plan is consistent with the planning, land use plan, and development orientation to effectively promote local resources.

Why adjust?

The construction planning of Kim Thanh district was approved by the Provincial People's Committee in September 2021, but when implementing the approved planning, it was found that there were still some contents that were not consistent with the adjustments of the central government and the province later.

On December 21, 2021, the Prime Minister issued an official dispatch on supplementing and adjusting the planning for the development of industrial parks in Hai Duong province, including determining the planning and development of Kim Thanh 2 industrial park in Dai Duc and Tam Ky communes. Through review, it was discovered that the old planning of Kim Thanh district determined the location and boundaries of the industrial land planning inappropriately.

On the other hand, according to Decision No. 326/QD-TTg dated March 9, 2022 of the Prime Minister on the allocation of national land use planning targets for the period 2021-2030 and Decision No. 109/QD-UBND dated January 17, 2023 of the Provincial People's Committee approving the adjustment of the allocation targets of some types of provincial-level land to adjust the district-level land use planning to 2030 and the implementation period 2021-2025, the allocation targets of some types of land in Kim Thanh district have been adjusted compared to the approved district construction planning. The area of ​​industrial land and residential land has decreased, the area of ​​agricultural land has increased. This changes the district construction planning plan and the development orientation of the district.

In early July, the Prime Minister issued Official Dispatch No. 616/CD-TTg, directing localities to review, establish, and adjust urban and rural planning to ensure that these plans include plans to arrange commune-level administrative units. Therefore, Kim Thanh district has reviewed and developed a plan to adjust the construction planning of Kim Thanh district until 2030, with a vision to 2050.
