 A changing step

The most clearly recognizable thing when coming to Tan Uyen City at this time is the change in urban appearance. This is also the result of Tan Uyen City's efforts in recent years. That is, to increase investment in technical and social infrastructure according to planning, contributing to rapidly changing the appearance of the urban area.

As a result, Tan Uyen City is making strong changes in urban development, local infrastructure becomes more spacious and modern; 100% roads in the city are asphalted.

Economic and technical infrastructure gradually meet urban development requirements. Educational, medical and cultural - sports projects are invested commensurately to meet the needs of local folks.

However, the rapid pace of socio-economic development makes infrastructure planning at some times and places still unable to keep up. According to Tran Van Hai, a resident lives in Tan Hiep ward, urban infrastructure in the city receives a lot of investment attention, however, due to the rapid growth rate, it leads to overload in road traffic, environmental pollution, especially flooding during rainy seasons.

Setting the goal of upgrading Tan Uyen to second-class urban standards before 2025, the city has focused on technical infrastructure projects. Many projects have been under construction such as: Tan Uyen bus station, city funeral home, embankment along Dong Nai river (section from Rach Tre bridge to Tan Uyen City Party Committee), landslide protection embankment on Rua island, DH425 road, high school Thai Hoa, Thanh Hoi Commune Culture and Sports Center, Thanh Phuoc Kindergarten... 

In addition, Provincial People's Committee has implemented investment procedures and is carrying out site clearance work for some key projects, creating favorable conditions to attract investment and develop socio-economic development in the area, like: dredging and reinforcing Cai stream from Tho Ut bridge to Dong Nai river; construction of bridges across Dong Nai River (Bach Dang 2 Bridge), Ring Road 4, Ho Chi Minh City - Chon Thanh Expressway passing through Tan Uyen area... From there, opening up opportunities to enhance economic connection and trading for Tan Uyen urban area.
