Of which, division 1 is determined to be the western gateway, with the main functions are being the administrative center, education and training, housing and urban services such as: commerce, services, green parks...
For division 2, it will be the eastern gateway, offering the following infrastructure: education and training center, multi-purposes complex, trade service and housing.
Meanwhile, with Dau Giay Industrial Park, division 3 is determined to be an industrial center, developed with the main functions of industry, housing, trade, services and social infrastructure.
