This plan ensures adequate housing and social, cultural, and sports amenities for workers. Additionally, the province is committed to maintaining and developing ecological corridors, river systems, and canals to support the region's ecological health; effectively implements industrial urban areas - service technology urban areas and sustainable ecosystems.
