Synchronous meaures

In addition to the achieved results, the renovation, embellishment and urban development of Thuan An still have limitations and difficulties. According to the city's functional agencies, the planning and management of urban development have not kept up with the speed of urbanization.

In addition, the infrastructure system has not been invested in and built completely, in which the works serving the people, cultural and public institutions have not been invested in proportion to the scale of urban development of the city. In order to ensure the urban renovation and development according to the set plan, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tam, Deputy Secretary of the city Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Thuan An city, said that in the coming time, the city will continue to renovate and embellish the sidewalks of urban traffic routes in combination with planting trees on the roads; increase the lighting ratio of urban streets and alleys, gradually replace them with energy-saving LED lights and solar lights; focus on renovating and embellishing the technical infrastructure of spontaneous housing areas.

The city will coordinate with relevant units to gradually bury the power and communication systems underground to create an increasingly beautiful urban landscape; at the same time, effectively renovate and handle local flooding; treat and classify domestic waste at the source and households before it is taken away for treatment; increase the rate of domestic wastewater connection to the general urban wastewater treatment system. The city also prioritizes investment in upgrading and expanding urban roads according to the planning, especially the roads connecting the East - West of the city, the roads connecting the city with neighboring localities; invest in building parks and flower gardens according to the planning and on public land, surplus land after clearance to increase the urban green area, improve the living environment and serve the entertainment needs of the people; attract investment in building housing projects, especially social housing projects, workers' housing, resettlement housing to serve the housing needs of the people.
