CityNews – On August 6, 2013, 2.00 p.m. at meeting room 1, 2nd Floor Director Building, Chiang Mai City Hall Mr. Wiroon Puntewee, chaired a meeting to discuss the matter of Chiang Mai’s development, which is a worrying concern for many people.
Wiroon said that the city, which is unique in terms of culture and business, is developing fast in trade, economy, and culture. He added that the population was growing, and that because of this natural resources were decreasing and that development was encroaching on the natural environment. One of the problems he discussed was the ethos of the younger consumer generation that in its decadent demand to consume and grow wealthy had forgotten folk wisdom.
It was agreed that folk wisdom must be tempered with economic advancement and that natural resources have to be managed sensibly. The National Economic and Social Development Plan must be adhered to, and Chiang Mai has to become a ‘livable city’ or Eco village.
With this in mind Chiang Mai will become the hub of the region he said, linked by both ground and air to Chiang Rai, to R3A and to other countries in the Greater Maekong Sub-region (GMS), as well as having links to Mae Hongson. There will also be new links to Myanmar and India.
The development of Chiang Mai will follow guidelines set by the Provincial Development Plan- 4 years (2014-2017).
