Ecopark’s sustainable development, associated with the natural environment, and respect for the local ecology, has also been recognized by the locality. Accordingly, before the Ecopark project was invested in, Van Giang was an undeveloped district, mainly doing agriculture with the main products being flowers and ornamental plants. After more than a decade since Ecopark was built, the district has “transformed” into a modern civilized urban area with the highlight being large urban projects and synchronous traffic infrastructure, becoming the destination of many domestic and foreign investors.

The presence of Ecopark has helped the urbanization rate in Van Giang district, Hung Yen increase 7 times from 9.3% in 2000 to 65% in 2020, helping to upgrade the urban area from type 5 to type 3; contributing greatly to increasing the urbanization rate of the province; the province's economy gradually shifts from purely agricultural to industrial and service sectors associated with green and smart urban development.
