According to provincial planning for 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050 (briefly called provincial planning), by 2030, Binh Dương aims at becoming a centrally run city. To achieve this goal, Binh Duong has focused on completing the local traffic infrastructure system, becoming a regional connectivity hub.
