Ha NoiDong Da District proposes to increase the height of the Trung Tu apartment complex to 48 floors without changing the population density.
Dong Da District is collecting people's opinions on the detailed planning task of renovating and rebuilding Trung Tu collective areas, at a scale of 1/500.
According to the explanation, the expected population of Trung Tu collective area is 8.200 people, and the surrounding area is more than 4.000 people. The construction density of the entire area remains the same according to the 1/2.000 urban zoning plan approved by the city in 2012 at 30-60%. The minimum height remains 2 floors, but with the maximum height, this project proposes to double the number of floors proposed in the previous zoning plan, from 24 to 48 floors.
Expected items in the planning area include: Apartment buildings; townhouse; Villas and social infrastructure items such as kindergartens, elementary schools, and high schools; Green parks, flower gardens, sports practice fields; agency and administrative headquarters buildings; roads, parking lots and other urban technical infrastructure works.

Trung Tu collective area is nearly 12 hectares wide, located in Trung Tu ward, Dong Da district. This is a model apartment complex built from 1972-1975 with 29 4-5-storey apartment buildings without elevators, on average each building has 60-120 apartments and 119 villas and townhouses. .
The apartments in the complex have been seriously degraded. Most households expanded to increase their living area, causing the outer surface of these houses to be deformed, many walls and floors peeling and cracking. Some sections of the hallway were demolished to make room for water and electricity pipes, causing the structure inside the wall to be exposed, making it unsafe.
In addition, because the project was built for a long time, many apartments often suffer from mold and leaks when the rainy season comes. In public areas, shared areas have been encroached into housing combined with shops. On the first floor of the buildings in the dormitory and surrounding areas, all types of commercial services are used for rent.

Along with Trung Tu, two other dormitories that Dong Da district is also consulting with people to plan and renovate are Kim Lien and Khuong Thuong. Kim Lien is also a model dormitory area, one of the first dormitories in the country as well as Hanoi, built in the years 1965-1970. The collective area includes 44 apartment buildings ranging from 2-6 floors high, located adjacent to Pham Ngoc Thach street with many key service and public works.
Khuong Thuong collective has 38 buildings with 1.104 apartments, more than 3.500 people, an average of 3,2 people per household. With the group of individual houses (alley 1 Ton That Tung and lane 43 Dong Tac), there are a total of 45 households, with 180 people, an average of 4 people per household.

In addition, the city also has 306 independent old apartment buildings, built from 1960-1994 and before 1954. Since 2005, Hanoi has begun renovating old apartment buildings. However, due to some inadequacies and policy changes, so far only 19 projects have been completed and put into use (accounting for 1,2% of the total number of old apartment buildings) and 14 projects are being implemented. .
In the period 2021-2025, the city plans to renovate 10 old apartment buildings, including four class D buildings - dangerous level, at risk of collapse, requiring urgent relocation of people, including: Giang Vo , Thanh Cong, Ngoc Khanh, home of the Ministry of Justice; and 6 areas that are feasible to renovate are Kim Lien, Trung Tu, Khuong Thuong, Thanh Xuan Bac, Thanh Xuan Nam, Nghia Tan.
