Accordingly, the research area, within the approved Vinh City master plan, covers approximately 250 square kilometers.2To the north, it is bordered by the Nam Cam - Cua Lo road and the Cam River; to the south, it is bordered by National Highway 1 (the section bypassing Vinh city) and the Lam River; to the east, it is bordered by the Lam River to Cua Hoi and the East Sea; to the west, it is bordered by Nam Giang commune, Nam Dan district and the Ke Gai River.
The program aims to concretize the urban development orientation of Vinh City according to the General Planning of Vinh City, Nghe An Province, until 2030, with a vision to 2050, approved by the Prime Minister in Decision 52/QD-TTg dated January 14, 2015. It will establish urban development indicators for each 5-year and 10-year period; and specify them for each year in the first 5-year period of the program (Vinh City expansion achieving the criteria of a Type I urban area and a smart city).
Based on the revised master plan for Vinh City, Nghe An province, up to 2030, with a vision to 2050, and the current urban development situation, the urban space of the planned area is divided into 3 development zones, specifically:
Region 1:The entire existing city of Vinh (comprising 16 wards and 9 communes); the entire town of Cua Lo (comprising 7 wards and 4 communes: Nghi Xuan, Phuc Tho, Nghi Thai, Nghi Phong in Nghi Loc district). Total area: 166.24 km2, population approximately 575,718 people.
The region's function is to serve as the economic, cultural, educational, and scientific and technological center of the North Central region; to be a driving force for the province's economic growth; to be a transportation hub and an important gateway for the North Central region, the whole country, and internationally; and to hold a crucial position in national and international defense and security.
The plan to expand Vinh City includes adjusting the entire natural area and existing population of Cua Lo town; and the entire natural area and existing population of four communes: Nghi Xuan, Phuc Tho, Nghi Thai, and Nghi Phong of Nghi Loc district, to be under the management of Vinh City. After the adjustment, Vinh City will have 32 administrative units, including: 27 wards (including 16 wards of the existing Vinh City, 7 wards of Cua Lo town, and 4 wards planned for new establishment) and 5 communes.
