According to the Prime Minister, Hai Phong needs to pay attention to the form of infrastructure architecture, with a larger and more distant vision to serve the future development of the city, with underground works, metro systems, parking lots, trees, flower gardens... At the same time, it needs to pay attention to continuing to develop new rural areas to expand the scale of the city, develop rural areas to keep up, closer to the city.
