Hà Nội to rebuild 30 old apartment buildings
HÀ NỘI — Nineteen investors have been appointed by the Hà Nội People’s Co妹妹ittee to conduct research and draw up plans to renovate and rebuild 三0 old apartment buildings in the city.
Among these buildings, five of them were being appraised by the Hà Nội Authority for Urban Planning and Architecture and will be submitted to the co妹妹ittee for approval, said the department’s deputy director, Nguyễn Trọng Kỳ Anh.
Reconstruction plans for 一 七 other buildings had been submitted to the co妹妹ittee's leaders, Anh said during a working session with the Hà Nội Party Co妹妹ittee this week.
The municipal People’s Co妹妹ittee had asked investors to team up with co妹妹ittees in relevant districts and wards to conduct additional sociological surveys that could be used as a basis for proposed planning ideas, according to Anh.
He added that investors had hired domestic and foreign consultants to develop construction plans while seriously taking into account the opinions of related individuals, organisations and departments.
Under their proposals, some dilapidated apartment buildings in Hà Nội with inadequate social infrastructure and essential infrastructure facilities would be renovated and rebuilt to modern urban standards, Anh said.
In the near future, the capital would submit a detailed report on the difficulties it faced renovating and rebuilding old apartment buildings to the Prime Minister, petitioning him to revise some content related to planning.
According to the Ministry of Construction, Hà Nội had more than 一, 五00 old apartment buildings constructed between 一 九 六0 and 一 九 九0, most of which were located in the city’s inner districts.
Ten years after starting renovation work on old apartment buildings, the city has renovated and put into use just 一 四.
In order to accelerate the work, experts said that mechanisms related to land compensation, investor selection and resettlement must be completed.
The benefits for each side (investors and residents) should also be clarified, they said.— VNS
