Trai Gang dormitory area (Bach Mai - Hai Ba Trung) is one of the dormitories in the city's plan to renovate and rebuild old apartments. Built more than a decade ago, this collective area is now seriously degraded. Along with that, the situation of people arbitrarily expanding to repair and deform the original structure makes danger always "lurking" for households living here.
The entrances of the old dormitories at Trai Gang market are often small, damp and lack electricity. Due to the narrow area, many households often leave vehicles at the entrances.
The common space such as the corridors on the floors is also used to gather furniture, personal items, etc.
As noted, like most old dormitories in Hanoi, Trai Gang dormitories are unguarded. Households living here must take care of their own belongings and personal property. The common walkways at the floors are used to load things, set up vehicles... Most of the walls are peeling, the electrical wiring and cables are entangled like spider webs. The entrance of these dormitories is usually small, low and lacks electricity…
Electric wires are used as drying racks
I think it is necessary to have an appropriate plan to renovate the collective areas that are increasingly degraded over time to ensure a safe and healthy living environment for the people, contributing to beautify the urban face.
