Many constructive recommendations and suggestions for the better master plan were highlighted by leaders of the ministries of Planning and Investment, Transport, Industry and Trade, and National Defense, plus those from such professional associations as the Viet Nam Urban Planning and Development Association and the Viet Nam Architects’ Association.

Currently, Da Nang is on right track to implement its socio-economic development strategies in parallel with creating strategic master plan visions for new development, under which the construction of the Lien Chieu mega-port plays the key role as the drivers of the city's economic growth,

Given its great efforts in placing the master plan on the spotlight of its long-term and sustainable development, along with its important geopolitical position in the country, Da Nang is still in need of more active support from the national government agencies so that it can maintain on its feet to fulfil its socio-economic targets.

The Da Nang administration must submit their new adjustments to the aforementioned contents as per request of the Minister of Construction to the National Appraisal Council for consideration before 5 September.  After that, the adjustments are expected to be presented to the Prime Minister for approval before 10 September.
