Urban upgrading and classifying are implemented as the schedule. Up to now, Binh Duong has 03 cities (Thu Dau Mot, Thuan An and Di An), 02 towns (Ben Cat and Tan Uyen); in which, Thu Dau Mot city was recognized as a first class city in 2017. The fact that Binh Duong became the first province in the Southern key economic region has 03 cities has created a strong attraction to the entire resources in community to participate in constructing and developing the urban become more and more civilized, modern and worth living.

Binh Duong also focuses on investment in technical infrastructure systems to meet urban development needs. Traffic infrastructure is built in a synchronous direction, reasonably connecting national highways, provincial roads with district roads, and at the same time connecting with the national traffic system and provinces and cities in the key economy region in the South. The traffic axes connecting the region are particularly interested in and directed by the province such as My Phuoc - Tan Van - Bau Bang; Bau Bang - Phu Giao - North Tan Uyen Street; to upgrade and expand Highway 13; to upgrade and expand DT743A, DT743B roads; Thu Bien - Dat Cuoc Street.

The implementation of planning and investment in the construction of new urban areas, residential areas with synchronous technical infrastructure system, expected land fund for social infrastructure has created the face of a spacious urban area and bring many conveniences to the people.

In particular, the urban renovation and embellishment that has been implemented in recent years contributed to improving the overall urban face of the province and improving the quality of people's life. Typically, the adjustment of the function of the former state headquarters into parks, flower-garden with lots of green trees and gymnasiums, creates more "green lungs" for the urban which is highly appreciated by the people. 96 parks and flower-gardens combined with the gymnasiums were built, renovated, and put into use in recent years, which are a great effort of all levels and branches in the province.

"Binh Duong New City"

Binh Duong new city

The new urban area of the complex is considered as "Binh Duong New City" with a scale of 1,000 hectares, located at the center of the Complex. This is the center of Binh Duong Urban Cluster in the future.

However, through the fact realization, the main cause of unfortunate accidents is mostly due to the low awareness of compliance by a part of road users, little understanding of the law and use alcohol while driving, overspeeding and overtaking.

The supervisory team of the Provincial People's Council supervises implementation of the 1,500-bed hospital project

Discussing at the meeting, members of the supervisory team analyzed and introduced limitations in disbursement such as: Most of the key projects were financed with a lot of capital but the progress of implementation was slow; time of compensation and site clearance is prolonged ... Thereby, leaders of the provincial People's Committee and departments, agencies, branches and localities have explained and clarified the causes and problems in the process of implementing some projects, investment preparation, project implementation, site clearance and implementation of key projects to celebrate the 11^th Provincial Party Congress ...

At conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Ho Quang Diep showed his understanding of the difficulties, problems and pressures in the process of implementing key projects in the province. Assessing the main cause of the delay in disbursement of public investment capital is due to problems in compensation and site clearance, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council proposed the Provincial People's Committee to direct units and localities to do this work well. Besides, enhancing the responsibilities of the leaders, strengthening the coordination among units, localities, among investors, construction units and beneficiaries; selecting qualified consulting, supervising and construction units; carrying out synchronous implementation of bidding packages in the same project etc. In the long term, it is necessary to create a "clean" land fund to implement works and projects in order to limit problems in compensation and site clearance.

​Low disbursement rate

Although the Provincial People's Committee regularly directs works of public investment, most of projects are in the stage of tender invitation, design - estimation; the volume of transitional projects is concentrated, therefore the rate of public investment disbursement for 08 months of the province is low compared to the national average and compared to the same period in 2019. According to the report, the total planned public investment capital in 2020 (including central budget capital and local budgets) of the province as assigned is 13,467 billion 363 million VND. As of August 14, 2020, only 3,029 billion 800 million VND was disbursed, reaching 22.5% of the plan.

Up to now, a number of projects having problems in site clearance have been basically resolved in handing over construction sites such as: Roundabout between DT.743 and My Phuoc - Tan Van street; compensation, support and resettlement of the extended My Phuoc - Tan Van road towards My Phuoc 2 and 3 Industrial Park; North-South road No. 3 through Di An city ... Binh Duong has also invited to tender for North-South 3 road projects through Di An city, access road to Bach Dang bridge 2 at Binh Duong side, the road from Tan Thanh to Tam Lap bridge (Tan Dinh commune) belongs to the North Tan Uyen - Phu Giao - Bau Bang route for development, the package of Canal T4 for Di An drainage and Tan Dong Hiep Industrial Park project etc.

The supervisory team of the Provincial People's Council supervises the implementation progress of the Chom Sao-Suoi Don Drainage Project

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Truc - Vice Chairman of Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee said that over the past time, the process of implementing public investment has encountered a number of difficulties. The mobilization of people to agree with the policy, the unit price of compensation and site clearance of public investment projects is difficult, complicated and lasts from 2 to 3 years, in some cases it took 5 years to hand over the site. Some large-scale projects involve many localities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai and Tay Ninh provinces; therefore, the progress has not been ensured. On the other hand, the Covid-19 epidemic has affected the implementation of projects.

In addition to the objective reasons for the procedures, the overlap in the regulations between the Public Investment Law and the Construction Law, there are also subjective reasons such as: In some places, the cooperation between the investor and the land fund development center at district-level is not strict and timely in compensation and site clearance; Investors have not actively developed plans for implementation progress in accordance with the approved project time, which cause significant impacts on the project implementation process.

Mr. Nguyen Chi Duc - Director of Binh Duong Construction and Investment Project Management Board said that the progress of some projects has not met the planned needs due to the compensation and site clearance during the implementation must follow the procedures, which takes much time. "Proposing the provincial leaders to direct the units in coordinating to remove difficulties, complete the project early" - Mr. Duc emphasized.

Remove difficulties

With a high determination to implement the direction from the Prime Minister, the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial People's Committee have directed investors and departments to speed up the implementation of projects as well as shorten the time for appraisal and approval for early bidding in the year. At the same time, many projects which have been completed early in preparation for investment are transferred to the list of implementation project, which creates conditions for investors to continuously implement, contribute to speed up the project.
