Currently, 30 districts of Hanoi have a total of 579 communes and wards. After the rearrangement, the capital will have 509 communes and wards.
According to the arrangement plan, Ba Vi district will merge 3 communes into 1 commune; Chuong My district will merge 4 communes into 2 communes; Dan Phuong district will merge 8 communes into 4 communes; Gia Lam district will merge 6 communes into 3 communes.
Dong Da district will merge 6 wards into 4 wards; Ha Dong district will merge 3 wards into 1 ward; Hai Ba Trung district will merge 7 wards into 4 wards.
Ba Dinh District will merge Nguyen Trung Truc Ward and Truc Bach Ward into a new administrative unit...
Explaining the fact that some administrative units are subject to rearrangement but will not be reorganized in the next 2 years, the Hanoi People's Committee said that there are administrative units with small areas but large populations.
Hanoi People's Committee gave an example: Hoan Kiem district has a natural area of 5.35 km2 but a population of more than 212,000 people; Dong Da district has a natural area of 9.94 km2 but a population of more than 325,000 people...
Hanoi also pointed out the fact that most of the inner city wards after the rearrangement still do not meet the standards of natural area and population size as prescribed. Meanwhile, due to many specific factors, it is not possible to merge other adjacent administrative units.
In addition, according to the report of the Hanoi People's Committee, the number of commune-level administrative units subject to merger but due to special factors, not being rearranged is 76; the number of commune-level administrative units subject to encouraged rearrangement is 12.
Hanoi gives 8 reasons for not merging Hoan Kiem district
The area target of Hoan Kiem district only reaches 15% of the regulation, but Hanoi proposed not to merge this district because it is the center of the city, has a long history and cultural traditions.
