Accelerating progress on 7 major projects worth VND 100 trillion, Bac Ninh urges major players like Vingroup, Taseco… to 'move forward while getting in line — focus on action, no backtracking.'

Recently, the People's Committee of Bac Ninh Province held a conference to urge progress and implement investment plans for seven newly approved urban area projects with selected investors.

Accordingly, the relevant units have developed detailed schedules for each project; prepared tasks and 1/500-scale detailed planning blueprints; established compensation and site clearance councils; conducted surveys and measurements to create land clearance maps and land ownership inventories.

At the conference, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, Mr. Dao Quang Khai, urged departments, localities, and investors to promptly implement tasks as planned, following the guiding principles of "moving forward while getting in line" and "focus on execution, no retreat." He emphasized turning challenges into motivation, considering the implementation of urban area projects a top priority for the second half of 2025.

The provincial leadership requested departments to research and propose the establishment of a Provincial Steering Committee chaired by the Chairman of the People's Committee. At the district, commune, and city levels, corresponding steering committees should also be formed, with clearly assigned responsibilities, including identifying "green lanes" and parallel tasks to accelerate project progress. The steering committee will review progress weekly and hold meetings biweekly.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment was directed to expedite map measurements and submit documents for expert appraisal by June 10; cadastral maps must be provided to local authorities.

The Department of Construction, Department of Agriculture and Environment, and relevant localities within the project boundaries must closely coordinate with investors to support and simultaneously resolve public consultation, planning appraisal, site clearance compensation, land allocation, and environmental impact assessment. Heads of these agencies and local authorities will be held accountable for the progress.

Investors are required to establish project offices and allocate adequate, experienced human resources; appoint clear points of contact for coordination with departments and local authorities; identify project areas and implement them in phases, following the principle of "start with the easy, tackle the difficult later."

Below are the seven new urban area projects with selected investors:

The largest project among the seven is the Northwestern New Urban Area of Bac Ninh City (Zone 1), developed by a consortium led by Vingroup. This urban area covers nearly 270 hectares in Hoa Long Ward, Bac Ninh City, with a total investment capital of over VND 41,270 billion. The remaining projects, which are smaller in scale, are located across Bac Ninh City, Tu Son City, and Tien Du District. The total investment capital for all seven projects amounts to VND 104,961 billion.

In recent times, major real estate developers such as Vingroup and Sun Group have actively invested in projects in this province. Notably, Phu My Hung officially broke ground on the Hong Hac Ecological Urban Area project in mid-April 2025, with an investment of VND 27,000 billion.

In addition, Bac Ninh is currently calling for investment in a series of large-scale urban development projects. These include the New Urban Area (Subdivision 112.1) in Lim Town, covering 299 hectares with an estimated investment of over VND 19,700 billion; another New Urban and Service Area in Khac Niem, Van Duong, and Dai Phuc Wards of Bac Ninh City with a total investment of VND 13,599 billion; and a New Urban Area in Lien Bao and Hoan Son Communes, Tien Du District, with an investment of VND 13,680 billion.

Alongside these urban projects, Bac Ninh is also moving forward with the development of Gia Binh International Airport. This project has been approved as part of the Master Plan for the national airport system development for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision to 2050. The total estimated investment for the airport is approximately VND 29,765 billion.
