5. The targets for
developing urban and specific areas in the Sixth Plan are as follow:
-
Develop Bangkok Metropolis and its
vicinity towns as a single metropolitan region with self-contained
polycentric pattern as well as with more efficient and orderly linkages.
-
Develop regional urban growth centres to
serve as the social and economic development base in each region. The
centres will have the capacity to absorb economic activities decentralized
from Bangkok, accommodate rural migrants and in the future, serve as the
public administrative centres of the regions.
-
Develop the Eastern Seaboard sub-region
and prepare to develop other areas, such as the Upper South sub-region and
Songkhla Lake Basin, into new economic zones. This will provide
alternatives for future industrial locations and pave the way for
strengthening the competitive position of national exports.
