Delegates continue to monitor the progress of the project on the "golden land" of Ly Thuong Kiet street.

About 3 months behind schedule

At the question and answer session of the Hanoi People's Council this afternoon (July 3), delegate Pham Thi Thanh Huong (Ung Hoa group) mentioned the slow progress of the office building project at 31-35 Ly Thuong Kiet. This is a content that has been questioned in many previous sessions but is still behind schedule.

"Project 31-35 Ly Thuong Kiet, I would like to request the leaders of the City People's Committee and the Chairman of the Hoan Kiem District People's Committee to inform us why the urban design project for the Ly Thuong Kiet area has not yet been approved?", Ms. Huong asked.

Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Duong Duc Tuan.

Responding to this content, Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Duong Duc Tuan said that the urban design project of Ly Thuong Kiet street is the content that receives the attention of the City People's Council based on voters' opinions.

Recently, the City People's Committee has assigned the Hoan Kiem District People's Committee to organize and select research and consulting units according to regulations. The current urban design project has been completed by the research agency with comments from the community, organizations, individuals, and city departments and branches.

Compared with the People's Council's announcement on the People's Committee's commitment at the 14th session of the City People's Council, it is delayed by about 3 months (commitment to be implemented in the first quarter of 2024).

Explaining the reason, Mr. Duong Duc Tuan said that solving the difficulties and problems in the field of urban design is difficult, especially since this is an important neighborhood with historical elements.

Based on the report of the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem District, the city requested that in July 2024, Hoan Kiem District submit the urban design project for the Department of Planning and Architecture to appraise and report to the City People's Committee for approval in August 2024.

Review and remove difficulties for "old" projects in the inner city

According to Vice Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Duong Duc Tuan, all planning and architectural contents of Ly Thuong Kiet street have been handled, including technical infrastructure, French architectural works, and new architectural works.

The 31-35 Ly Thuong Kiet project was decided to be allocated land by the Hanoi People's Committee since 2019. Currently, this area is still a slow-progressing project, surrounded by corrugated iron.

The land plot 31-35 Ly Thuong Kiet (Ly Thuong Kiet - Hang Bai intersection) is identified as being within the planning of Ly Thuong Kiet street. Previously, the city committed to completing the urban design project of Ly Thuong Kiet street by the first quarter of 2024.

On that basis, the architectural planning criteria for the investor's proposal for this land are determined. To ensure the spatial structure of the entire route, the height of the above construction is also determined and applied in accordance with the urban zoning regulations H1-1C.

Speaking more about this project, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan said that in the coming time, the city needs to request the investor to implement this project soon. Recently, the city has done a very good job in urban beautification.

For long-standing projects in the inner city, it is necessary to review, remove difficulties, and urge investors to implement them in order to complete them.

At the 14th session of the Hanoi People's Council (July 2023), delegate Nguyen Ngoc Vien (My Duc district delegation) raised the issue of commitment to implement the office housing project at 31-35 Ly Thuong Kiet.

The delegate said that at the 10th session of the 16th Hanoi People's Council, the City People's Committee assigned the Hoan Kiem District People's Committee and the Department of Planning and Architecture to complete the urban design and project of Ly Thuong Kiet Street, by the third quarter of 2023 at the latest. This is also the urban beautification policy of old streets and ancient streets that voters are interested in.

It is known that the office building project at 31-35 Ly Thuong Kiet has an area of 2,300m2. This project was decided to be allocated land by the Hanoi People's Committee in 2019. However, this area is still a project behind schedule, surrounded by corrugated iron.
