Vietnam has seen exponential growth in its urban development over the past 30 years. According to studies, the country’s national urban growth is accelerating ; the rate of progression in 2009 was 19.6 percent with 629 urbanised areas, while in 2016, the rate soared to around 36.6 percent, with a total of 802 urbanised areas.
Vietnam’s development over the past 30 years has been remarkable but some of the forces that were partly responsible for Vietnam’s growth are now slowing and the Covid-19 pandemic has also contributed to the slowing trend. A declining global trade, rise of automation and pollution is not making sustainable growth any easier too.
According to the World Bank, between 2002 and 2018, Vietnam’s GDP per capita increased by 2.7 times, reaching over US$2,700 in 2019, and more than 45 million people were lifted out of poverty. Poverty rates declined sharply from over 70 percent to below 6 percent (US$3.2/day PPP). The vast majority of Vietnam’s remaining poor – 86 percent –are ethnic minorities.
Even though Vietnam has improved its economy and built up a large stock of infrastructure. It now needs to improve the efficiency and sustainability of infrastructure services, including financing, and operations and maintenance.
In response, the government is rethinking its development strategy and suggested working towards a development model that anchors firmly on a modern, integrated and long -term planning approach so that they could meet the long term needs of the country.
They also discussed about supporting this planning approach with scientific and technological developments and smart infrastructure systems, to ensure the efficiency of the entire infrastructure system.
The emphasis moving forward, would be to develop their transport infrastructure, electricity supply infrastructure, climate change mitigation plans; urban infrastructure and information technology infrastructure, to create a national digital transformation platform and gradually developing the digital economy and digital society.
With this, the country hoped to solve overcrowding and congestion issues at the major economic areas and transport nodes in the country and eventually to build an e-Government to enable digital public services for its citizens and potential investors.
