Bac Ninh develops integrated urban industrial zones

Bac Ninh province is transitioning from pure industrial development toward integrated urban industrial spaces that combine manufacturing with residential areas, services, and logistics. In the Neh ward, four active industrial zones—Dinh Tram, Quang Chau, Van Trung, and Viet Han (Phase 1)—cover over 1,044 hectares. These zones host 372 projects, including 297 FDI projects with a total registered capital of $9.4 billion.

Major corporations such as Foxconn, Luxshare, and Hana Micron are investing in the region, providing employment for approximately 220,000 workers. The industrial zones in Neh ward alone contribute roughly 30% of the province's total industrial production value and import-export turnover, with an estimated industrial production value of 600 trillion VND and import-export turnover of $40 billion.

To sustain this growth, local authorities emphasize the need for synchronized infrastructure to connect industrial zones and alleviate pressure on transportation, housing, education, healthcare, and the environment.
