The Hanoi People's Committee is seeking opinions on drafting a Resolution on "Authorizing a List, measures and roadmap for relocating industrial production facilities, medical facilities, higher education institutions, vocational training institutions and headquarters of agencies and units in central urban areas that are not in accordance with the General Planning of the Capital".
According to the draft, the People's Committees of wards and communes located in the central urban area will proactively review, prepare records and lists of facilities subject to relocation, and send them to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment for synthesis. On this basis, the Department will report to the City People's Committee to submit to the City People's Council for consideration and approval.
After the City People's Council approves the list, the City People's Committee will issue a decision to implement it.
The relocated subjects include:
Industrial production facilities:
Interspersed in residential areas or urban development areas, not in accordance with planning and not ensuring environmental sanitation, need to be completely relocated.
Relocation must be associated with technological innovation, energy saving, and environmental requirements to avoid spreading pollution from one location to another.
The receiving location is industrial parks and clusters concentrated in the city. Special cases that cannot be relocated to these areas will be specifically considered by the City People's Committee.
Medical and educational facilities, working headquarters:
Medical facilities: Prioritize the relocation of units with high risk of pollution and infection, especially facilities located in densely populated areas or that do not meet the land area/bed standards according to specialized standards.
Higher education and vocational education institutions: Relocate facilities with training scale exceeding the target, causing overload of traffic - technical infrastructure, not meeting the requirements of land area/student.
Office and other facilities: Need to upgrade to meet current standards, development orientation to become a high-quality research, training, and medical examination and treatment center according to the General Planning of the Capital.
The relocated facilities will be arranged in educational - training areas, health areas, and inter-organization areas according to the city's planning.
Implementation roadmap: Phase 2026-2027: Complete the review, list of establishments to be relocated; submit to the People's Council for approval; propose support mechanisms and policies and arrange appropriate land funds.
Phase 2027-2028: Prioritize the relocation of polluting industrial facilities and medical facilities at high risk of infection. At the same time, deploy the construction of concentrated areas to receive relocation facilities.
Phase 2029-2030: Complete the relocation and implementation of social infrastructure renovation and urban beautification projects in relocated areas.
The draft resolution is expected to be submitted to the Hanoi People's Council for consideration and approval at the regular meeting in the middle of the year, taking place from July 7 to 11, 2025.
