For the Northern Urban Area Zoning Plan, it is built on the basis of inheriting the development structure, urban model, social infrastructure system, technical infrastructure, green mountain connections, and the experiences of experts in the old plan, while adjusting the boundary scale, planning time, functional properties, high-rise planning, land use indicators, water surface connections, waterway traffic systems, and land use functions at some key locations.

The Northern Urban Area subdivision has a scale of about 2,300 hectares, a population of 150-155 thousand people with the nature and function of being the administrative, political , economic, cultural, social, tourism and service center of Ninh Binh province and urban area; cultural industrial center, organizing major national and international events.

It is one of the new urban areas with a modern, high-rise center; developing modern, synchronous infrastructure associated with the renovation of existing residential areas. Development planning according to the TOD (Transit Oriented Development) model is an urban development model associated with public transport, creating conditions for increasing population density.

For the Bai Dinh Area Zoning Plan, the area is over 3,000 hectares; the population in 2040 is about 38-40 thousand people. The North borders Hoang Long River; the West and Southwest borders Ben Dang River; the East and Southeast borders the core area of ​​Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex and Hoa Lu Ancient Capital.

Comrade Tran Song Tung, Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee spoke at the conference.

Basically agreeing with the draft contents of the Projects, the delegates also focused on giving specific opinions on each adjusted and supplemented content. In particular, it is proposed to clearly indicate the urban highlights, main functions, leading functions, and spatial orientation of the subdivisions to thoroughly handle the shortcomings of the old planning. Some opinions said that the consulting unit needs to coordinate closely with localities to better understand the area, culture, etc. so that the planning projects are more suitable and closer to reality. In addition, it is necessary to update changes in land, have plans to arrange technical infrastructure frameworks such as traffic, water supply and drainage, and waste treatment in accordance with the nature and scale of development of the new urban area. The planning must be open, must be linked with other plans, in which it is necessary to study the expansion of development space after the merger of the province; consider arranging high-rise urban areas to avoid breaking the heritage landscape space, etc.

Comrade Nguyen Cao Son, Provincial Party Committee member, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee spoke at the conference.

Concluding the conference, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Quang Ngoc acknowledged the efforts of the Department of Construction in a short time to quickly coordinate with the consulting unit to build and basically complete the urban subdivision planning projects in the adjustment of the Ninh Binh Urban Master Plan to 2040.

Comrade Pham Quang Ngoc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee delivered a concluding speech at the conference.

He also emphasized that this is a difficult and demanding field, so in the thinking and planning method, it is necessary to assess the current status of implementation results to generalize the orientation, spirit and nature of each sub-zone, thereby proposing viewpoints and solutions for appropriate renovation and improvement. The planning must also ensure interconnection between sub-zones to create a harmonious puzzle, and at the same time, must be synchronized with other plans, avoiding overlap and duplication of planning tasks.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Department of Construction and the consulting unit to fully absorb the opinions at the conference, and at the same time strengthen coordination with relevant departments, branches, sectors and localities to adjust, supplement and complete the projects to ensure progress and quality as required, and prioritize the completion of urgent projects to promptly meet the development requirements of the province at the present stage.
