According to a report by provincial Department of Planning and Investment, the province has so far absorbed more than 3,400 FDI projects with a total registered capital of more than US$31.4billion.

To wait in front for the international integration trend, Binh Duong has focused on developing an industrial-service and urban complex with nearly 4,200 hectares, including 2,000 hectares for hi-tech industrial parks, 900 hectares for hi-class service areas and 1,000 hectares for urban-residential areas…The highlight of the complex is Binh Duong New city of 1,000 hectares, which is considered as a political-economic and cultural hub of the province. Hence, building Binh Duong New city is implemented towards not only connecting with localities in the province, but also creating favorable linkage in terms of technical-economic infrastructure facilities with neighboring localities in the southern key economic zone.

Especially, among Binh Duong New City’s architectural works, provincial Integrated Administration Center is one of the country’s most administration centers. It not only meets the local Party, government and people’s aspirations and needs, but also is a breakthrough in forming up a modern, flexible new city at the local requirements in the renewal and integration cause.
