For Trang Bang urban area, the planning scope includes all 4 wards and 2 communes, with a total area of approximately 38,237 hectares. Trang Bang is identified as an economic urban area, an important growth pole and gateway of Tay Ninh connecting to Ho Chi Minh City, located in the center of sub-region IV of the border area. The projected population is approximately 400,000 people by 2035 and approximately 512,000 people by 2045.

The appraisal council requested further clarification on the urban characteristics, spatial development distribution plan, the linkage between industry, urban areas, services, and ecology, and the preservation of historical relics. At the same time, it noted that the plan must ensure the synchronization of technical infrastructure, inter-regional transportation connectivity, and the development orientation of a dynamic urban area in the southern part of the province.

Director of the Department of Construction Nguyen Nam Hung gave his remarks.

The expanded Hoa Thanh urban area, covering 28,307 hectares, plays a central role in the southern part of the province, situated on a crucial economic and transportation corridor connecting Ho Chi Minh City with the Moc Bai International Border Gate. This urban area concentrates administrative, educational, medical, and commercial activities, while also being associated with distinctive cultural and religious landmarks such as the Tay Ninh Holy See, creating a unique urban identity.

The evaluation council noted that the urban characteristics described in the dossier were unclear and needed adjustment to better reflect reality, ensuring a balance between population and social infrastructure.
