According to a report by the Department of Agriculture and Environment, in 2026, the city will implement site clearance for 431 projects with a total recovered area of more than 14,942 hectares, involving over 165,600 households and 424 organizations.
In the first quarter of 2026, there are 53 projects in 32 localities committing to complete site clearance, with an area of more than 577 ha. To date, the volume of implementation has reached about 80% in terms of area and number of households. Of which, 33 projects in 21 localities are basically completed on schedule; the remaining 20 projects are at risk of not completing the first quarter plan. The main reason is that some households do not agree with the compensation price, request resettlement arrangements even though they do not meet the conditions, or problems arise in determining land users due to buying and selling by handwritten papers, lack of legal documents.
Regarding resettlement work, the whole city has 163 projects that need to arrange resettlement for nearly 13,000 households. Currently, 46 projects have not met the needs, of which 27 projects propose building new resettlement areas and 19 projects propose expanding existing areas.
After listening to reports from departments, branches, and localities, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Le Trung Kien acknowledged and praised the efforts of localities and relevant agencies in overcoming difficulties and doing well in site clearance and resettlement of projects. Especially units with large volumes of site clearance. Besides the achieved results, the disbursement results of public investment capital and site clearance work in the first quarter have not yet met the requirements compared to the proposed scenario.
To complete the 2026 plan targets, especially in site clearance and resettlement arrangement, the Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee emphasized that the whole city needs to unify the general policy, focus highly, and accelerate the progress of site clearance to achieve the highest results. This is not only an economic task but also a political responsibility before the Party Committee and people of the city, in order to create a solid premise for the sustainable development of Hai Phong in the coming period.
Levels, sectors, and localities thoroughly grasp the spirit of identifying site clearance work as an order, requiring close coordination in implementation. Departments and sectors must develop detailed site clearance and disbursement plans quarterly as a basis for monitoring, reviewing, and comparing implementation results.
City leaders requested localities, especially units that are behind schedule compared to the commitment in the first quarter, to focus highly and drastically on implementation, removing difficulties; clearly classify each problematic case to have measures to mobilize or coerce according to regulations, not allowing slow site clearance to affect the progress of public investment capital disbursement.
Regarding resettlement work, the Department of Construction presides over and coordinates with relevant units to urgently develop a project to build resettlement areas throughout the city with the motto that resettlement must go one step ahead, ensuring that people have a new place to live equal to or better than the old place to soon hand over the site to the project.
Localities shall base on the general socio-economic planning of the city to build and propose long-term resettlement plans. In which, the resettlement area must have synchronous infrastructure, beautiful landscapes, ensuring living conditions equal to or better than the old place of residence. The Department of Construction shall consider guiding construction standards and soon summarize and report to the city according to regulations.
The Department of Finance closely monitors the actual progress to update and adjust growth scenarios and disbursement scenarios close to the implementation situation, as a basis for control and direction. Project Management Boards proactively coordinate with localities to soon submit resettlement projects for approval. For approved plans, funds must be transferred in a timely manner for localities to pay to people.
