This ambitious plan aims to transform the city into a key growth pole for Vietnam and a highly competitive urban center within the nation and the Asia-Pacific region. This move directly translates the central government's directive to merge provinces and eliminate district-level administration, marking a significant, strategic breakthrough in institutional reform and laying crucial groundwork for a 100-year vision of national development.
