“The project embodies the World Bank’s commitment to assisting Vietnam in achieving sustainable urbanization and resilient growth” “The Vinh City project is more than just infrastructure it's a transformative endeavor enhancing the socioeconomic conditions of Vinh City's inhabitants,” said World Bank Country Director for Vietnam Carolyn Turk. The project will contribute to climate adaptation by reducing damage from heavy rains, and to climate mitigation by improving living conditions in the city’s center and the construction of pedestrian and bike lanes. Once completed, the project, will connect 30,000 households to new or rehabilitated secondary and tertiary sewers, and reduce the time women spend on unpaid housework after flooding, including cleaning, by half.
