According to the proposed consulting group, the Project is planned into 3 regions. In which, region 1 is the semi-mountainous region along the foot of Dai Hue mountain, including 7 communes in the northern area of ​​the district (Nam Nghia, Nam Hung, Nam Thai, Nam Thanh, Nam Anh, Nam Xuan, Nam Linh).

Land area: 10,373.99 hectares, equivalent to 35.53% of the total natural area of ​​the district. Current population size is 41,866 people. Planned population size in 2035 is 51,080 people.

Zone 2 is identified as the central zone including: 1 Nam Dan town and 7 communes in the district center area (Nam Giang, Kim Lien, Nam Cat, Xuan Lam, Hong Long, Hung Tien, Xuan Hoa). The area is 8,622.84 hectares, equivalent to 29.53% of the total natural area of ​​the district. The current population size is 74,889 people. The planned population size by 2035 is 88,280 people.

Region 3 is the right bank of Lam River, including 4 communes in the southern part of the district (Thuong Tan Loc; Khanh Son; Trung Phuc Cuong and Nam Kim). The area is 10,202.08 hectares, equal to 34.94% of the total natural area of ​​the district. The current population is 46,457 people. The planned population in 2035 is 60,640 people.

According to the consulting unit, the current spatial development model, urban spaces, industrial spaces and tourist spaces are scattered, the connection network between these elements is thin and weak.

Therefore, VIUP proposes a future development model that takes advantage of local resources, enhances urban space, industrial space, tourism space and consolidates the network connecting spaces, while building a new urban development axis to create new values. This is a spatial development model that is expected to become a catalyst for economic development.
