The People's Committee of central Thanh Hoa province has officially approved a zoning plan at a scale of 1/2000 for Subdivision D - Do River Tourism Urban Area, located in the province's Sam Son City.

Subdivision D spans the wards of Quang Vinh, Quang Chau, Truong Son, Bac Son, Trung Son, and Quang Tien, with a total planned area of approximately 340.3 ha.

The zoning plan aims to transform Subdivision D into a modern, ecological, and tourist-friendly urban area. It will integrate the scenic potential of both sides of the Do River with existing residential areas and a synchronized infrastructure system, enhancing the urban space and boosting the tourism-service economy of the Do River area and nearby Sam Son beach.

By 2040, the population of Subdivision D is projected to grow significantly, reaching approximately 26,360 people, compared to the current population of 2,892.

The land use plan has been carefully allocated, designating 28.5% of the area for residential use, 5.1% for mixed-use land with residential components, and the remainder for public works, services, green spaces, transportation, and water surfaces.

Green spaces make up a substantial proportion of the area, reflecting the city's strong commitment to creating a green, clean, and visually appealing living environment.
