Urban corridor development objective is to increase intra-city connectivity and encourage compact, mixed-use, pedestrian, and public transport oriented urban development in the less flood prone area of Cai Rang. It consists of three sub-components: (i) road and bridge links; (ii) construction of the residential area for resettlement; and (iii) effective transport systems management and equipment. T 3.
