Danang unveils plan to develop e-city project

Under Decision 10401 issued on Monday, the city’s Government is determined to apply information technology (IT) in all fields.

The project will be implemented in two phases with six main tasks, including an e-city model and an overall legal frame for such tasks, IT application models among enterprises and the community, and IT infrastructure improvement among others.

In the first phase from 2012 to 2015, Danang will set up foundations for IT infrastructure and human resources development. For the second phase that follows up to 2020, the city will finish the connection among models of e-government and social and economic agencies and organizations with the contribution of IT as the spearhead economic sector.

According to the local authority, following the model will help improve the position and image of Danang as an e-city well-matched with other modern e-cities in the world.
