The development objective of the Scaling up Urban Upgrading Project for Vietnam is to improve access to infrastructure in priority city areas and improve urban planning in the participating cities. There are four components. The first component will support tertiary investments in approximately 30 LIAs, covering about 650 ha,including: (i) construction, rehabilitation, and upgrading of roads and lanes; (ii) construction and rehabilitation of drains; (iii) improvements to environmental sanitation by rehabilitating or constructing public sewers, constructing septic tanks, providing access to septic management services, and house connections to public sewers; (iv) improvement of water supply including the installation of metered domestic connections; (v) provision of metered domestic connections for electricity and public lighting in residential lanes and streets; and (vi) construction and rehabilitation of social infrastructure facilities such as schools, markets, community halls, public places and green spaces. The second component provides support to improve priority networked infrastructure in line with the broader city development agenda, and with a view to increasing connectivity of primary and secondary infrastructure with tertiary infrastructure in LIAs. Social infrastructure facilities such as markets, community halls, public places, schools and green spaces will also be included to benefit urban poor, where needed. The third component will include the construction of resettlement areas for affected persons, including construction of primary, secondary and tertiary infrastructure and public facilities. The fourth component will be complemented by a Technical Assistance (TA) package under project management support which is intended to provide implementation support as well as enhance the cities’ capacity to manage urban development in a risk informed manner, thereby reinforcing urban resilience. This component has two subcomponents are as follows: (i) implementation support and (ii) support for investment design and integrated urban planning.
