DETAILED URBAN DESIGN AT THE SCALE OF 1/500 OF EASTERN AREA OF DINH ÔNG BRIDGE

Tay Hoa District – Phu Yen Province

EcoCity integrated with Commerce and Services

The planning area is expected to boost the tourism and commerce sectors, together with preserving historical and cultural relics and green areas in the western part of Phu Thu township. The completion and operation of the Dinh Ong Bridge, which crosses the Da Rang River and connects with Phu Hoa town, would give rise to a strong socio-economic development of the town. Therefore, this detailed urban design of the South of Dinh Ong Bridge would create more land funds for infrastructure investment and residential establishment projects.
