Traffic connection - a great advantage for the development of Phu Bai

Advantages and challenges

Phu Bai Ward was established on the basis of merging Phu Bai Ward (old) and Thuy Phu, Phu Son and Duong Hoa communes of the former Huong Thuy town, with a natural area of ​​more than 344km2, and a population of nearly 39,000 people.

Party Secretary and Chairman of Phu Bai Ward People's Council Le Van Cuong informed that the merger of four administrative units creates conditions for Phu Bai Ward to have a wide development space with many potentials and comparative advantages to exploit. In the ward, there is Phu Bai Industrial Park, one of the typical industrial parks of the city in particular and the Central region in general. The industrial park contributes more than 4,500 billion VND to the annual budget, equivalent to nearly 40% of the total city budget revenue.

The locality has advantages in transport infrastructure, especially Phu Bai International Airport, National Highway 1A, Hue bypass, Cam Lo - La Son Expressway for economic connectivity; there is a system of lakes, streams, and natural streams in the old Duong Hoa area, which is a potential for tourism development... People's lives are gradually improving, the great national unity bloc is strong. Decentralization and delegation of power create proactive self-determination, cadres, civil servants, and party members uphold the spirit of daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility, contributing to building a government that serves the people.

Besides the new opportunities, Phu Bai also faces many challenges in implementing its socio-economic development tasks. These include a large area, uneven population distribution between urban and mountainous areas; complicated management, provision of public services and social security. Infrastructure in the ward is not yet synchronous, many key projects and works are still slow to be implemented, the budget is still limited, new sources of revenue are not yet stable. The quality of human resources is not yet uniform, urban planning, land and environmental management still face many difficulties and shortcomings. The risk of natural disasters, epidemics, crimes, and social evils is still latent...

Breakthroughs

According to Party Secretary and Chairman of Phu Bai Ward People's Council Le Van Cuong, taking advantage of potentials and advantages, Phu Bai Ward has set four breakthroughs in socio-economic development in implementing the 2-level local government model. First, a breakthrough in planning and developing a modern, synchronous urban area associated with the southern dynamic axis of Hue city - airport - industrial park. Accordingly, the ward focuses on adjusting and effectively implementing zoning plans and detailed plans in accordance with the city's development orientation. The ward's priority task is to create a breakthrough in land management, site clearance, and resettlement to create clean land to attract investment. Urban infrastructure projects are implemented synchronously, such as: Horizontal and vertical traffic (connecting industrial park - airport - National Highway 1A - bypass), commercial infrastructure, parks, smart lighting, water supply and drainage; Developing modern residential clusters, smart urban areas at ward level, promoting the transition from rural to urban areas.

Second, create a breakthrough in the development of the multi-pillar economy of industry - services - logistics - agriculture . On that basis, exploit the maximum advantages of Phu Bai International Airport to form aviation service chains, cargo transit, logistics, and supporting industries. Trade and services around the airport and industrial park will be strongly invested and developed, such as food service centers, resorts, health care, logistics services, transportation, microfinance, etc.

The agricultural sector develops in a clean, safe direction, investing in high-quality hilly economic areas and sustainable forest economy. In particular, focusing on developing high-tech agricultural areas, prioritizing organic agricultural models, circular agriculture, hilly farms combined with experiential tourism, OCOP products associated with the locality. Developing multifunctional forest economy, such as protecting upstream forests, exploiting sustainable forest products, combining ecological forest tourism, resorts, environmental education; organizing concentrated production areas, local specialties (honey, bamboo shoots, essential oils, medicinal herbs, clean vegetables, hill chickens, etc.) with traceability and value chains.

Third, create a breakthrough in building a service-oriented administration, a professional - digital - effective urban government. Phu Bai effectively implements a streamlined urban government model, clearly defining responsibilities between the Party - government - Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations. At the same time, build a team of ward officials and civil servants who are "both red and professional", have urban governance capacity, know how to apply digital transformation and serve the people; digitize records and data on urban, residential and business management, integrate public service portals and smart ward-level operating systems...

The final breakthrough is to improve the quality of human resources, develop sustainable culture - people - society. Accordingly, Phu Bai focuses on developing local human resources, vocational training for rural laborers, workers, especially high-quality laborers. The system of schools, health care, parks, cultural - sports facilities are invested in accordance with the rapidly increasing urban population, prioritizing resettlement areas affected by projects within and outside the budget. Civilized urban lifestyle is built on the basis of good management of construction order, environmental sanitation, urban aesthetics, office culture and public places.
