Planning level
The development orientation of the urban railway network of Da Nang city (old) and Quang Nam province has previously been included in local planning.
After the merger, when integrating the urban railway network into the common development space, reviewing, adjusting and updating the planning becomes a necessary requirement to ensure compliance with the new orientation, including the development of urban railway projects combined with urban development according to public transport orientation (TOD).
Sharing local experience, Mr. Phan Cong Bang, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway Management Board, said that it is necessary to have a master plan or a comprehensive study on the urban railway network to solve many problems on urban railway lines, such as: priority investment lines, traffic connection solutions, energy, ticket cards...

In particular, TOD area planning is a reverse planning, leading from the bottom up for higher-level planning above, meaning that zoning plans and general plans are adjusted and changed according to TOD area planning to develop the city in the direction of taking public transport as the backbone.
According to Director of the Management Board of Priority Infrastructure Investment Projects of Da Nang Le Thanh Hung, reviewing and establishing a master plan for the urban railway network of Da Nang city is necessary.
Because the current planning of the city is not yet complete, lacking in-depth research due to lack of experience.
The urban railway network is not yet optimal, the control center, assembly, maintenance, train repair (depot) and the locations of stations and intersections have not been clearly identified... Urban development areas according to the TOD model have not been planned and there is no plan to prioritize investment in urban railway lines.
Master planning will ensure consistency and uniformity in planning, technology, and standards; optimize investment costs; and avoid technical overlap...
