KHÁNH AN |

On January 27, at the 31st session, delegates of the Hanoi City People's Council voted to approve the main contents of the Capital's Master Plan with a 100-year vision and the Resolution adjusting the Housing Development Program of Hanoi City for the period 2021-2030.

9 development poles, 9 major centers

According to a report by the Hanoi People's Committee, the Capital Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, vision to 2050 and the Capital General Planning to 2045, vision to 2065 were approved before the time of implementing the organizational structure arrangement, and are no longer suitable to date, and need to be reviewed and adjusted to be consistent with the adjustment of the National Overall Plan.

Accordingly, the city adjusts the Hanoi Capital's Plans to 2045, vision to 2065, and is researching long-term strategic orientations to 2100, towards a 100-year and longer vision; building development scenarios according to the milestones: 2030 - 2035 - 2045 - 2050, 2065, 2085, 2100.

Establishing the Capital Hanoi space as a unified urban entity, with urban structure planning according to the model of a cluster of multi-polar - multi-center, multi-layer - multi-layer urban areas, a city of culture, identity, creativity, developing brightly, greenly, cleanly, and beautifully, adapting to climate change (with 9 development poles, 9 large centers, satellite cities and towns separated by green corridors, forests, green belts, green canopies, rivers, lakes, linked by belt and radial traffic systems) combining 9 driving axes, with economic belts and corridors, promoting regional linkages.

Researching compact urban development with high-rise development in the central area, reducing construction density and developing underground space (with linking TOD models, subway stations, developing public spaces, commercial services, public utilities, underground technical infrastructure, multi-layered, combined with water storage, drainage, flood prevention), saving ground space, prioritizing green space, public space, conservation, construction, and promotion of natural landscape spaces, forests, green corridors, green belts, green canopies, rivers, lakes, ensuring a sustainable environment.

The city implements urban restructuring - creating a revolution in urban landscape architecture, a revolution in housing, a revolution in heritage, and preservation (shifting from the "preservation - renovation" mindset to the "value reconstruction" mindset).

Supplementing the land fund for social housing construction investment

According to the content of adjusting the Hanoi City Housing Development Program for the period 2021-2030, the city proposes to promulgate specific mechanisms for social housing, including adjusting the framework of regulations on social housing area to meet the diverse needs of groups of subjects, in line with the trend of increasing the average housing area per capita and increasing living standards. Relaxing conditions for accessing social housing in terms of income and living conditions, expanding the group of subjects eligible to buy, rent, and rent-purchase to attract high-quality human resources and meet the actual housing needs of a large number of people.

Focus on implementing urban area renovation, embellishment, and reconstruction projects, including renovating and rebuilding old apartment buildings to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, urban embellishment and sustainable development of the Capital.

Focus resources on reviewing and eliminating temporary and rudimentary houses and minimizing semi-permanent houses; supporting poor and near-poor households to build, repair, and upgrade existing degraded and damaged houses to ensure 3 solids (hard foundation, solid frame - wall, solid roof) suitable to the actual conditions of the locality.

Review and adjust planning to allocate and supplement land funds to invest in building social housing synchronously with trade union institutions to serve housing needs for workers and laborers in industrial parks and export processing zones, in which priority is given to developing social housing for rent and for lease-purchase.

In the period 2021 - 2030, strive to develop 255 million square meters of housing floor space, equivalent to about 1,821,700 houses, raising the city's average housing area target to at least 40m2 of floor space/person.

In the period 2031-2035, strive to complete about 127.5 million square meters of housing floor space to create development space for projects in the period 2026-2030, raising the average housing area of the whole city to a minimum of 45m2 of floor space/person.

By 2030, strive to increase the proportion of solid and semi-solid houses throughout the city (including urban and rural areas) to 100%, no longer having unstable and rudimentary houses.
