Vietnam local authorities address urban management and environmental issues

In Nghe An province, officials are addressing urban management deficiencies in Vinh City. Issues include the illegal occupation of sidewalks and traffic corridors for business and parking, improper storage of construction materials, and delayed waste collection. To combat these problems, the province has proposed an urban renovation scheme for six wards between 2026 and 2030, involving 24 projects.

In Da Nang, the Huong Tra ward has launched the “Huong Tra Green - Green Action” model to improve local living standards. This initiative focuses on community-led environmental protection, including tree planting and the establishment of self-managed flower roads. The model aims to transition from general propaganda to direct citizen participation in maintaining clean, green, and civilized residential areas.
