At the working session, Deputy Minister of Construction Phan Thi My Linh said that, Bien Hoa city is among the biggest industrial cities in Vietnam with a relatively high economic growth rate in the area as well as in the country. In the last few years, Bien Hoa City has witnessed numerous drastic changes. However, there remains some limited factors such as: drainage infrastructure, waste and wastewater treatment; insufficient funeral homes; greenery system and limited urban management. Therefore, in the coming time, besides focusing on economic development, the city must accelerate infrastructure and urban landscape architecture construction. As for Long Khanh town, it already meet all standards to be recognized as the urban center of grade III affiliated to the province. Long Khanh must continue to focus on the solution groups to develop social infrastructure, technical infrastructure and urban landscape architecture.
