I. PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING
1. This Level II restructuring report seeks country director approval to restructure the Dynamic Cities Integrated
Development Project. The proposed changes include modifying the scope of several urban infrastructure
investments under Component 1 and the scope of the technical assistance under Component 2 and adjusting
the results framework to reflect the modified investments and technical assistance. This is the first restructuring
of the project.
A. Project Background
2. The International Development Association (IDA)’s Board of Directors approved IDA credits 6426-VN, 6427-VN,
6428-VN, and 6429-VN on June 11, 2019, in the amount of US$194.36 million. The financing agreement was
signed on November 29, 2019, and became effective on May 21, 2020. The project development objective (PDO)
is to increase access to urban infrastructure and improve integrated urban planning in the project cities. The
project has two components: Component 1: Structural Investments—Rehabilitation and Construction of Urban
Infrastructure; and Component 2: Non-Structural Investments—Technical Assistance and Implementation
Support.
3. The total project cost is US$276.17 million (US$194.36 million IDA credit; US$81.81 million counterpart funding
(CF) contributions from the provincial people’s committee of each subproject city). The cost of Component 1 is
US$234.02 million (US$184.89 million IDA; US$49.13 million CF), and the cost of Component 2 is US$27.52
million (US$9.47 million IDA; US$18.05 million CF). The project’s closing date is June 30, 2025, and it triggers
operational procedure (OP)/Bank procedure (BP) 4.01 (environmental assessment), OP/BP 4.04 (natural
habitats), OP/BP 4.36 (forests), OP/BP 4.11 (physical cultural resources), and OP/BP 4.12 (involuntary
resettlement).
B. Overall Project Implementation Status
4. The midterm review (MTR) mission took place from November 17 to 30, 2022. In its implementation status and
results report, progress toward achievement of the PDO, overall implementation progress, and Components 1
and 2 were all rated Moderately Satisfactory; the overall safeguards rating was Moderately Satisfactory; and
the overall risk rating was Substantial.
5. Overall implementation progress has lagged because of continued delays in land acquisition in Nghi Son, Hai
Duong, and Yen Bai, although some progress has been made, as reflected in the increase in disbursement over
the past 8 months from 16.0 percent to 29.6 percent (reducing the disbursement lag from 7 to 2 months), with
IDA disbursements at US$57.96 million as of January 31, 2023. The subproject cities have awarded contracts for
The World Bank
Vietnam - Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project (P168290)
31 of 33 civil works packages and all 12 consulting service packages that IDA has financed, accounting for
commitments of US$180.7 million of the US$194.36 million total IDA financing (93.0 percent). Of the two
remaining civil works packages to be awarded, KA-PW-06 (construction of wastewater treatment plant) is to be
awarded by May 31, 2023 and HD-PW-05 (construction of wastewater treatment plant and equipment) by June
30, 2023. The World Bank task team and project management units (PMUs) agreed during the MTR on a work
plan with key actions to accelerate site clearance and provision of CF for critical investment packages in Nghi
Son, Hai Duong, and Yen Bai.
6. Although implementation progress has been slower than planned, achievement of the PDO is still deemed
feasible by project closure. Almost all key challenges related to delay of IDA and CF allocation have been
resolved in all four cities, except for the approval of Thanh Hoa Provincial Peoples’ Committee (PPC) for the
allocation of additional CF for resettlement in Nghi Son (expected by June 2023), following the Prime Minister’s
approval of the revised project investment policy on April 5, 2023, and the additional on-grant IDA allocation in
Hai Duong (expected by September 2023). Land acquisition and resettlement progress have improved in all four
cities since the MTR mission in November 2022. At midterm, the results framework indicators were generally
behind their respective Year 3 targets (ending on December 31, 2022), mainly because of civil works
implementation delays. Although there was some progress at the output level (construction of drains,
wastewater pipelines, roads, bridges, and public space; beneficiary consultations), all outcome results were
below their Year 3 targets, with some still at their baseline values. The project cities and provinces have shown
strong commitment to complete all project activities timely and adequately in support of achieving the PDO.
7. Progress under Component 1 is at different stages in the four project cities. In Ky Anh, good implementation
progress has been made, and it is expected that all activities will be completed by the project closing date. In
Hai Duong, Nghi Son, and Yen Bai, implementation progress remains modest because of problems with land
acquisition, site clearance, CF, and lengthy appraisal and approval procedures. Although most civil works
contracts are ongoing and highly likely to be completed before the project closing date, two contracts have not
been awarded, and five on-going contracts (HD-PW-06, embankment of Bach Dang River in Hai Duong; WB-XL-
05, construction of a connection road from QL1A to Ninh Hai and a coastal road from Ninh Hai to Son Hai Bridge;
WB-XL-06, construction of Binh Minh-Sao Vang-Nghi Son Road and a coastal road from Son Hai Bridge to Lach
Bang Bridge in Nghi Son; YB-XL-01a, resettlement area construction; YP-XL-02, Dien Bien Road to Bach Lam and
Van Phu Road in Yen Ba)) are at high risk of noncompletion by project closure because land acquisition and site
clearance for these packages is complex and has been expanded. In terms of measured results at midterm,
achievements were lagging because of accumulated civil works implementation delays: 4.58 km of drains have
been improved or constructed versus a 2022 target of 20.40 km, 3.32 km of wastewater pipeline have been laid
versus 22.14 km, 0.50 km of roads and bridges have been constructed or improved versus 7.70 km, and 7,750
m2 of new and improved walkable public space has been constructed versus 92,860 m2.
8. Under Component 2, the technical assistance includes strategic integrated planning, public transport planning,
and asset management. Hai Duong, Ky Anh, and Yen Bai have independently developed city master plans that
include their strategic integrated planning and public transport plans; the Prime Minister has recently approved
them (Yen Bai), or they will soon be submitted (Hai Duong, Ky Anh). The city people’s committees in these three
cities have also independently established asset management systems, which have been operationalized and
include guidance for operations and maintenance (O&M) and annual budget allocations. Nghi Son has only
recently begun to revise its master plan, and an asset management system has not yet been established. The
terms of reference for the technical assistance on strategic integrated planning and public transport in Nghi Son
have been approved for immediate implementation, and the technical assistance package on asset
management is on-going. All four project cities have fully mobilized implementation support consulting services,
The World Bank
Vietnam - Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project (P168290)
although performance of the construction supervision consultants and of contract management by the PMUs
should be improved. In terms of measured results at midterm, 2,620 beneficiaries have been consulted for
project planning, implementation, and evaluation (versus the 2022 target of 2,020), no stakeholder consultation
sessions or training activities have been conducted in integrated urban development planning (versus 32), and
one urban asset management plan with an annual budget for O&M has been approved (versus four).
9. The MTR implementation status and results report maintained an overall safeguards rating of Moderately
Satisfactory based on the Moderately Satisfactory rating of environmental assessment (OP/BP 4.01) and
involuntary resettlement (OP/BP 4.12). Regarding OP/BP 4.01, contractors should pay closer attention to traffic
and community safety, especially at sensitive sites such as schools, markets, and intersections of roads under
construction and local roads. Regarding OP/BP 4.12, land acquisition and resettlement have been progressing
well in Ky Anh but lagging in Hai Duong, Yen Bai, and Ky Anh. The provincial people’s committees of the latter
three cities have been requested to streamline their processes and support their city and district people’s
councils so that land acquisition and resettlement can be moved forward.
10. The MTR implementation status and results report elevated the overall risk rating from Moderate to
Substantial, reflecting Substantial risks for the categories (i) environment and social, because of land acquisition
delays; (ii) institutional capacity, in line with weaknesses in project management of the PMUs; and (iii) fiduciary,
because of continued shortages of CF and IDA allocations.
11. The project has only one pending interim financial report and an audited financial statement from Yen Bai PMU.
All the project’s legal covenants have been complied with.
C. Rationale for Restructuring
12. For Component 1, the target cities updated technical designs and extended the timelines of several civil works
packages. These changes account for (i) revised calculations based on more-elaborate data in the detailed
designs than in the basic designs of the original feasibility study conducted during project preparation; (ii)
higher compensation and resettlement costs and efforts because more households are affected (for Nghi Son)
and land prices are higher, without proportionate expansion of CF in some cases; and (iii) land clearance delays.
The most notable changes for individual packages are elaborated in Table 1.

13. For Component 2, the MTR confirmed that the PDO remains highly relevant but that some technical assistance
designed to achieve the improved integrated urban planning outcome has become less relevant to the three
cities that had moved ahead independently of the project technical assistance. More specifically, Hai Duong, Ky
Anh, and Yen Bai have updated their city master plans after new planning regulations were approved (planning
law published in 2017 but not made effective until 2019 through Decree 37/2019/ND-CP). The new planning
law requires that cities prepare city master plans that are spatially explicit, needs based, risk informed, and
updated every 5 years, corresponding to the urban planning improvements the project envisioned. Whereas
the technical assistance under Component 2 was necessary for the project cities to move toward integrated
urban planning when the Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project was conceptualized, appraised, and
approved in 2018/19, by the time it became effective in 2020/21, cities had an explicit legal compliance to use
integrated urban planning. Cities that had a master plan update planned during the start-up phase of project
implementation (Hai Duong, Ky Anh, Yen Bai) therefore moved ahead without the support of the project.
Similarly, these three cities have independently established their asset management systems in accordance
with government regulations and therefore do not require project technical assistance on strategic integrated
planning, public transport planning, and asset management anymore. In Nghi Son, these technical assistance
packages are still relevant, because the city is newly established, has only recently begun to revise its master
plan, and has not established an asset management system.
II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES
14. Changes to components and costs. The changes to Component 1 are listed in paragraph 12 and Table 1; for
Component 2, it is proposed that the technical assistance packages in Hai Duong, Ky Anh, and Yen Bai be

Vietnam - Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project (P168290)
cancelled.1 These changes affect total CF because of the increase in the scope of land acquisition in Nghi Son
while the total IDA financing remains unchanged. The changes in project costs in the project cities are shown
in Table 2. Please note that the CF estimate in the table includes taxes, fees, and interest.

15. Changes to indicator targets. The changes in the components will not change the PDO but will result in slight
increases and decreases in the end targets and year 4 targets for indicators measuring increased access to
urban infrastructure (first outcome statement) and in decreased attribution of improved integrated urban
planning (second outcome statement) to the project, thus decreasing the end targets and intermediary targets
of the corresponding indicators.
(a) Changes to indicator targets—Component 1. The scope and design changes to several civil works
packages affect the end target values for the intermediate results indicators (IRIs) under Component
1 in various ways: end target values increase for length of wastewater pipeline, household
connections to wastewater treatment systems, and area of walkable public space and decrease for
length of drains, roads, and bridges.2 For the PDO indicators under Component 1, end target values
increase slightly for number of people provided with access to improved sanitation (6 percent) and
number of direct project beneficiaries (8 percent) and decrease slightly for number of people provided
with access to new or improved roads (7 percent) and public spaces (7 percent).
1 It is also proposed that the planned technical assistance on strategic tourism planning in Nghi Son be cancelled because it is no
longer a priority of the city, and a provincial-level tourist plan is being implemented. This cancellation will have no effect on project
implementation or achievement of results framework indicators.
2Changes in end targets for IRIs are also partially due to errors and preliminary assumptions in the basic designs of the feasibility
study that were subsequently corrected or revised in the detailed designs. Detailed information is provided in Section IV.

Vietnam - Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project (P168290)
(b) Changes to indicator targets—Component 2. The progress made in Hai Duong, Ky Anh, and Yen Bai
on strategic integrated planning, public transport planning, and asset management happened
independently of project technical assistance. Correspondingly, the following changes will be made
to the end targets of the IRIs under Component 2 and the end target of the associated PDO indicator.
(Intermediary targets will be revised correspondingly.)
(i) IRI—Stakeholder consultation sessions and training activities conducted in integrated urban
development planning: End target decreased from 48 to 12 because project technical
assistance on strategic integrated planning will be provided only in Nghi Son. Stakeholder
consultation sessions were held in the other three cities but cannot be attributed to the
project because project technical assistance was not used.
(ii) IRI—Urban asset management plans approved with approved annual budgets for O&M: End
target decreased from 12 to two. Despite Hai Duong, Ky Anh, and Yen Bai being on track to
achieve their initially set targets for this indicator, achievements in these cities cannot be
attributed to the project because project technical assistance was not used.
(iii) PDO indicator—Integrated urban development plans developed, including adequate provision
of childcare services: End target decreased from four to one. The city master plans developed
in Hai Duong, Ky Anh, and Yen Bai integrate individual sectoral plans into multisectoral plans
(including public transport plans) and use resilience analysis to inform the plans. Moreover,
they legally comply with Decision 404/QD-TTg and Resolution 131/NQ-CP on allocating
adequate resources for childcare facilities. Although these city master plans meet all the
criteria for this PDO indicator, and hence its end target has been achieved in these three cities
(or soon will be, upon approval from the Prime Minister of the plans), this achievement cannot
be attributed to the project because project technical assistance was not used.
(iv) IRI—Average difference in the amount of time spent by local women as compared to local men
on caring for children aged 3-72 months: end target changed from 38.75 percent to 30.00
percent and baseline from 60.25 percent to 51.00 percent. For the same reason as for the
PDO indicator, achievements in Hai Duong, Ky Anh, and Yen Bai cannot be attributed to the
project because project technical assistance was not used. Hence, the baseline and end target
reflect the values of Nghi Son only.
The end target of the IRI for number of beneficiaries involved in consultations for project planning,
implementation, and evaluation will be more than doubled because additional beneficiary consultations
were conducted.
16. Changes to the theory of change and indicator revisions. This restructuring paper also updates the project’s
theory of change (as presented in Table 3 of the Project Appraisal Document) to depict the causal chain more
clearly and facilitate mapping of the results framework indicators to outputs and outcomes. The updated
theory of change is presented in Annex 1. In parallel, the following modifications will be made to the results
framework to improve indicator alignment with the causal chain and enhance performance in monitoring
results.
(a) PDO indicator—Integrated urban development plans developed, including adequate provision of
childcare services: Will be replaced by “Integrated urban development plan—including public
transport plan and adequate provision of childcare services—approved for implementation.”
(b) IRI indicator—Urban asset management plans approved with approved annual budgets for O&M: Will
be used as a PDO indicator.
(c) Three IRIs will be added:
(i) IRI—Strategic integrated plan developed (target: 1—to be achieved by project closing in Nghi
Son)
The World Bank
Vietnam - Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project (P168290)
(ii) IRI—Public transport plan developed (target: 1—to be achieved by project closing in Nghi Son)
(iii) IRI—Urban asset management plans developed (target: 2—to be developed in years 4 and 5
in Nghi Son)
17. The proposed results framework revisions were discussed extensively and agreed upon with the client during
the MTR. The World Bank team will work with the PMU to update the project implementation manual to
reflect the revised project results framework in June 2023. Section IV provides additional details on proposed
changes to the results framework.
