The Chan May – Lang Co Economic Zone is envisioned to become an economic, urban, industrial and tourism center of central Hue city by 2050 following a comprehensive master plan revision.

The Management Board of Economic and Industrial Zones and the People’s Committee of Lang Co commune held a ceremony on July 23 to announce the Prime Minister’s decision approving the adjustments to the general construction master plan for the zone by 2045.

Vice Chairman of the Hue city People’s Committee Hoang Hai Minh said that the revised master plan aims to address infrastructure bottlenecks, improve land use efficiency and establish a solid legal framework for implementing major urban and socio-technical development initiatives and attracting large-scale investment.

As early as April, the city released a list of 15 priority projects for investment in its economic and industrial zones for the 2025–26 period, with expected total capital amounting to tens of trillions of VND (Vietnamese currency). The projects span key sectors such as seaports, industry, urban development and eco-tourism.

Among the highlights is Wharf 6 at Chan May Port, covering 13.3 hectares, with an investment capital estimated at VND850 billion ($32.5 million), designed to accommodate vessels up to 70,000 DWT, significantly enhancing the region’s logistics capabilities.
