Mr. Pham Van Thinh, Vice Chairman of the Bac Ninh City People’s Committee, shares insights into housing development for foreign residents with Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy.

At a recent conference in northern Bac Ninh city, discussions focused on how the city’s growing FDI inflows and foreign workforce are driving up demand for both housing and homeownership and how this can be addressed.

According to the northern city's Department of Agriculture and Environment, fruit-growing areas across the city reach 53,739 hectares in 2026. Oranges, pomelos, apples, and guavas account for 11,650 hectares (21.7 percent of total fruit acreage), with projected output reaching 118,525 tons, up 18.7 percent year-on-year.

Looking toward 2035, the northern city projects expanding the supporting enterprise network to 1,000 or more firms, with around 80% of domestic vendors adopting global management standards.

With more than 41,000 foreign nationals registered for temporary residence in Bac Ninh, the northern city is looking to improve housing supply, market transparency and residential services to strengthen its appeal to international talent and high-quality foreign investment.

To facilitate corporate connectivity, the northern city is rolling out targeted solutions covering industrial land, clean energy, transportation, and logistics infrastructure.

The seminar will focus on five core topics: current residential stock and administrative management of foreign housing in Bac Ninh; residence administration oversight regarding foreign nationals; housing requirements of foreign specialists and workers across industrial parks; among others.

The National Assembly's resolution on the establishment of Bac Ninh as a centrally-run city was announced at a ceremony on September 19, where General Secretary and President To Lam highlighted the event’s particularly important significance, saying that it marks a new chapter in the history of building and developing the land of Kinh Bac, which boasts a rich tradition of culture, revolutionary history, dynamism and creativity.

According to the Resolution which takes effect on September 20, 2026, the centrally-run city of Bac Ninh will be established based on the entire natural land area and population size of the current Bac Ninh Province.

The city aims to develop a modern high-tech industrial sector that integrates deeply into global supply chains, establishing itself as a leading national and regional hub for electronics, with a focus on semiconductors, microchips, and artificial intelligence (AI).
