Development breakthrough
The plan identifies key tasks and strategic breakthroughs.
First of all, it is cooperation in regional development. Specifically, it is necessary to coordinate with national development programs, the Southeast Region, and neighboring localities to expand traffic connections, especially connecting to the seaport (Cai Mep Thi Vai, Can Gio), international airport (Tan Son Nhat, Long Thanh), international border gates (Moc Bai - Tay Ninh, Hoa Lu - Binh Phuoc). Connecting science-technology and human resources to create motivation to transform the new development ecosystem, connecting spatially to develop the southern dynamic space, and cooperating to develop biological urban corridors along the Saigon River and Dong Nai River. Especially the international connection infrastructure system to strengthen its position, participate in the global production and service chain become a favorite destination for global businesses in the fields of industry, high technology, and industrial service.
It is successful in transforming the growth model from breadth to depth through innovation, modern science, and technology, along with widespread digital transformation in production and operations, improving the quality and efficiency of growth.
It needs to develop a new ecosystem focused on innovation with full preparation of land funds, technical infrastructure, and social infrastructure. Focusing on developing industries and fields with high added value, reducing production costs, and proactively producing and exporting goods with high scientific and technological applications, based on fully exploiting the outstanding capabilities and competitive advantages of the province.

In addition, it is necessary to train to improve the quality of human resources, promote the development of cultural industries, and build breakthrough mechanisms to attract and utilize talent. Building an educational foundation and human resource training linking the State - schools and businesses. Building an ecosystem originating from general education according to modern and advanced educational models and methods. Building a learning environment at high school and university levels associated with the human resource needs of businesses and the market. Knowledge training associated with support for personal development, research, business building, and development of startup and creative ecosystems. Increasing investment in cultural development to become a driving force for economic development and ensure that all people have access to and enjoy advanced and modern cultural and social services.
Green development of the economy (green production, green consumption, green transportation, green infrastructure, green urban areas, green rural areas, environment, etc.) thanks to the guidance of science and technology creating a harmonious economy between humans and nature and society. It needs to develop green urban space and attractive green infrastructure becoming a typical image of Binh Duong urban area. Paying attention to investing in implementing solutions to protect the ecological environment sustainably, developing renewable energy systems, recycling trash, treating wastewater, etc.
The plan also divides the development of the entire province into 03 dynamic areas. Area 1 (including Thuan An City and Di An City): implementing urban reconstruction and renovation; Relocating outdated and environmentally polluted industrial facilities to the North of the province. Using the available space for a new TOD-oriented urban model and adding social infrastructure to turn Thuan An and Di An into a modern urban area with a high quality of life.
Area 2 (including Thu Dau Mot City, Tan Uyen City, Ben Cat City, and Bau Bang District): development based on innovation, advanced technology, regional community services and smart urban areas as a pillar for the province's growth.
Area 3 (including Bac Tan Uyen, Phu Giao, and Dau Tieng Districts): forming new generation industrial parks, attracting the development of urban-industrial-ecological service models. Preserving and developing ecological corridors of Saigon River, Dong Nai River, Thi Tinh River, etc. Increasing green coverage and developing renewable energy.
Developing new urban and service areas in Tan Uyen, Thu Dau Mot, Di An, and Thuan An, creating space to gradually redevelop existing urban areas. Besides, it needs to shift regional logistics activities to areas along Ring Road 4 - Ho Chi Minh City region. Developing new urban areas, complexes, and industrial parks in Bau Bang, Bac Tan Uyen and Phu Giao districts creates conditions for Southern industrial production facilities to move to the North of the province. Developing the province's innovation centers in Thu Dau Mot, Di An, Tan Uyen, Bau Bang, and Ben Cat to create a dynamic space for science and technology, services, and creative culture.
Developing regional, provincial, and urban public transport networks according to Transit–Oriented Development (TOD). Building functional centers such as the Central Business District (CBD), specialized science and technology center, the center of training, research, innovation, cultural and creative arts, centers of tourist, services, entertainment, etc.
Investing in completing technical infrastructure and upgrading existing industrial zones and clusters in the direction of optimizing land use. Besides, thoroughly handling environmental issues, converting to a clean, green, and smart industrial development model with high added value.
It needs to preserve the ecological functions and biodiversity of the main river and stream spaces (Dong Nai, Saigon, Thi Tinh, Song Be, etc.), and establish water surface protection areas.
Rivers passing through urban areas are optimally exploited ecological landscapes and combined with urban green space networks to form natural ecosystems in urban areas creating optimal efficiency for tourism and service development.
Urban system planning
The planning determines that, by 2030, there will be 03 urban areas meeting the criteria of Class I urban areas (Thu Dau Mot City, Di An City, Thuan An City). 2 urban areas meet the criteria of Class II urban areas (Tan Uyen City, Ben Cat City). 1 urban area meets the criteria of a town - Class IV urban area (Bau Bang District). 3 urban areas meet the criteria of Class IV urban areas (Tan Thanh Town - Bac Tan Uyen District, Phuoc Vinh Town - Phu Giao District, Dau Tieng Town - Dau Tieng District). Some urban areas are newly established in Bac Tan Uyen, Phu Giao, and Dau Tieng Districts, and the urbanization rate reaches about 88-90%.
Linking the development between urban and rural areas and promoting regional connectivity.
It is necessary to accelerate the speed and improve the quality of urbanization associated with improving urban economic efficiency. Besides, developing urban areas synchronously in terms of economy, society, infrastructure, architecture, housing, quality of life of the people, and friendliness to the environment.
According to the Plan, developing a smart, innovative, and internationally integrated urban area in Binh Duong New City
Developing Binh Duong urban space in association with the central urban area of Ho Chi Minh City according to the urban area model with a synchronous and modern infrastructure framework: The Southern region includes: Di An - Thuan An area transforms into regional service centers for trade and logistics services. Thu Dau Mot area is fully developed into a support service and innovation center. Ben Cat - Tan Uyen area will fully develop a modern industrial and service urban model.
The Northern region (Dau Tieng, Bau Bang, Phu Giao, Bac Tan Uyen) is developed according to the model of ecological industrial urban areas with a synchronous, modern infrastructure system, and a complete and attractive service network. Attracting investment, and labor force, and ensuring a green, clean, and beautiful environment.
To effectively implement planning, it needs to deploy 8 priority action programs including Improving the quality of human resources, transforming industrial development models, urban development in the direction of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), developing green space networks, developing freight transport and logistics networks, developing Bau Bang complex, developing smart urban areas, innovation and international integration in Binh Duong New City, and Southern urban reconstruction.
The planning also specifically identifies development plans for various fields, a list of priority projects for implementation, solutions, and resources to implement the Plan.
