Da Nang identifies infrastructure challenges after merger

On the afternoon of December 2, the People's Committee of Da Nang City held a press conference for December 2025.

At the meeting, the reporter raised questions to the Department of Construction of Da Nang City about the situation of many apartment buildings and high-rise buildings springing up along the river and the sea in recent times. The concern is whether the technical and social infrastructure can handle it when these projects are put into use, especially in the context of a serious lack of static traffic, the number of cars pouring into the center has increased sharply after the merger, causing great pressure on the core urban roads.

Answering the question, Mr. Nguyen Ha Nam , Director of the Department of Construction of Da Nang City, said that the increase in high-rise buildings is a signal of urban development, but at the same time creates no small amount of pressure on technical and social infrastructure.
