The Department of Construction of Da Nang has just responded to citizens' comments regarding the project of reclaiming the sea - building 5 artificial islands in the Da Nang Bay area.

According to this unit, the city is assigning departments, branches and sectors to research and develop a pilot project for a number of specific mechanisms and policies for developing national dynamic urban areas at sea in the city, and submit them to central agencies for consideration.

In addition to studying mechanisms and policies, studying natural, economic , social, technical and environmental conditions also poses many strict requirements because of many challenges. Especially issues related to the environment, natural landscapes and marine ecosystems.

In the process of developing the project and implementing the following related procedures, departments and branches are continuing to carefully research geological, topographic, hydrological, and flow factors, etc.

At the same time, comprehensively assess the impacts on the environment, landscape and ecosystem, to ensure that development is carried out in a sustainable, harmonious manner and minimizes the impact on nature...

According to research, recently the People's Committee of Da Nang City has established a working group to study the idea of reclaiming land in Da Nang Bay. This working group includes the head of the group, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, the deputy head of the group, the Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, and members who are directors of several departments and branches.

Previously, at the meeting with voters, Da Nang leaders spent a lot of time talking about two new economic forms in Da Nang: financial center and free trade zone.

Accordingly, Da Nang city is studying a project to form a free trade zone and financial center by calling for investment to build 5 floating islands on Da Nang Bay, creating about 48km of new sea route on these islands.
