To conclude the meeting, Mr. Vo Van Minh – Chairman of the PPC said that the province's policy was to continue to attract investors, so the demand for commercial housing was expected to increase. Therefore, it was necessary to adjust appropriately for the housing construction plan. The chairman of the PPC noted that three central urban areas with a high population density (Thu Dau Mot City, Di An City, Thuan An) needed to review and calculate reasonably and divide housing targets according to administrative units. Besides, we needed to focus on planning locations and implement extra review and consideration to submit to the PPC for ensuring infrastructure criteria and priority locations.
Mr. Vo Van Minh – Chairman of the PPC concluded the meeting.
Regarding the project to develop social housing and worker housing from 2021 to 2025, with an orientation to 2030, the Chairman of the PPC emphasized that the whole province has over 53% of the population is workers from outside the province, so social housing construction is one of the province's social security policies, which is very important to help workers settle down. It is an effective solution to promote socio-economic development. The project was specifically developed with 07 groups of solutions corresponding to 07 types of land. The province had policies to support businesses to invest in the field of social housing.
Based on the contents agreed at the meeting, next week, localities will coordinate with the Department of Construction to survey and review arising locations. They will collect data information and put it on a list of locations that change the function to make the social housing project. Then, they submit it to the PPC for approval soon. At the same time, a Steering Group was established to review each social housing project to speed up progress. For the Northern districts where there still are a lot of land funds, when planning industrial zones and clusters, it is necessary to determine locations to build social housing for workers. The situation of "wherever an industrial park is built, the motel will grow" is not allowed.
