Guided by the Directive, the city aims to complete a large number of social housing units in 2026 as assigned by the Government, while continuing to expand supply by accelerating the progress of projects currently in the investment preparation and construction phases.
In addition to the goal of completing ongoing developments, Hanoi also mandates accelerating the groundbreaking of fully qualified projects, thereby creating additional market supply in the coming time.
A key highlight of the Directive is the requirement for competent authorities to prioritize processing project dossiers related to social housing, with the objective of significantly reducing the timeframe for planning, investment, land, and construction procedures.
For projects that have completed site preparation works and met all legal conditions, the city encourages expediting progress for early implementation, helping to shorten the timeframe from preparation to construction.
Alongside administrative procedure reforms, Hanoi also requires municipal departments, agencies, and local authorities to coordinate closely across all implementation stages, from project appraisal, land allocation, and site clearance to the issuance of construction permits.
Clearly defining the responsibilities of each agency is expected to ensure synchronized procedure processing, mitigating delays caused by overlapping duties or a lack of coordination.
Under the city's directive, projects will be monitored regularly to promptly resolve difficulties arising during implementation. Concurrently, developers failing to meet their schedules or fulfill their commitments may be subject to regulatory measures in accordance with current laws.
This is considered a vital solution to enhance proactivity and accountability during the development of social housing projects.
Many experts believe that streamlining investment procedures can help reduce time costs for enterprises, thereby facilitating faster project implementation and introducing further supply to the market.
Besides procedural reforms, factors such as land banks, site clearance, funding sources, and coordination among regulatory agencies remain crucial conditions to ensure that social housing development targets are effectively realized in practice.
If these measures are implemented in a coordinated manner, the social housing supply in Hanoi is expected to continue rising in the coming period, contributing to expanded housing access for citizens and supporting the stable development of the real estate market.
