By 2025, phase 1 of the smart urban development pilot will be implemented. This will include the development and completion of the legal framework and legal regulations based on the preliminary and final review of the pilot implementation; and the application of the ICT Reference Framework for Smart Urban Development in Vietnam.
Announce priority national standards to serve the implementation of pilot construction of smart cities, giving priority to the fields of urban management, lighting, traffic, water supply and drainage, waste collection and treatment, power grid, natural disaster risk warning system and ICT infrastructure system; develop urban spatial data infrastructure, consolidate land, construction and other data on GIS platform in pilot urban areas; pilot application of the mechanism for granting certification of new smart urban areas...
By 2030, complete the pilot phase 1, gradually expand by field and region, forming a network of smart cities with the ability to spread.
