Singapore has been still a good model for many urban areas worldwide to learn from, and Da Nang is no exception. It is noticeable that Singapore shares similarities with Da Nang in geography, climate patterns, and development scale.

It was reported that the Singaporean consultants have gained a thorough insight into the Politburo’s new resolution on the city’s development for 2030 with a vision toward 2045, on developing Da Nang towards the direction of becoming a green, modern-smart, global city with unique identity.

Also, the Singaporean partners have already set up a schedule for implementing consultancy packages over the 42 week-long period.

The municipal Steering Board for making adjustments to the city’s master plan and its economic development strategies has been established.

According to municipal People’s Council Chairman Nguyen Nho Trung, during the implementation of this project, focus should on strictly complying with the provisions stipulated in the Vietnamese laws, especially the 2017 Planning Law.

Municipal Party Committee Standing Deputy Secretary Vo Cong Tri underlined the significance of gathering constructive recommendations from the city-based national government agencies which specialise in such aspects as hydro-meteorology, irrigation, environment and geology, along with opinions from leading domestic experts and researchers at training institutions.

Municipal Party Committee Secretary Truong Quang Nghia asked relevant local agencies to join forces with the Singaporean consultants to promptly deal with any issues arising during the implementation work.

The city Party chief remarked that the city authorities hoped that the Singaporean firms which boast highly practical experience in successfully designing socio-economic and urban development models in Singapore would help the city effectively implement this much-awaited project.
