The scale of project investment is mainly small, mostly low-rise housing or independent apartments, some projects are interspersed in residential areas, lacking social infrastructure, accompanying public services, causing great pressure on the social infrastructure system (schools, medical stations, entertainment areas, sports...), available technical infrastructure of the area, forcing the State to invest to overcome.

Investors are spending on housing construction; while construction planning standards for parking lots, public works, cultural institutions, trees, roads... are still at minimum levels.

Speaking at the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Huynh Thanh Dien said that the departments should only manage initially, and then decentralize to the City People's Committee.

Concluding the meeting, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Xuan Duong said that the planning and construction of urban areas, residential areas and apartment buildings have met the development needs of Vinh city. However, the development process still has problems that need to be rectified. For management to be on track, the investment responsibility belongs to the investor, local authorities, and departments. The Department of Construction is requested to take the lead in advising the Provincial People's Committee on documents to manage the entire urban area and apartment building. It is necessary to resolve land and housing procedures in urban areas, decentralizing to the City People's Committee to resolve; the initial and overall basic design is the responsibility of the Department of Construction, but the implementation process is assigned to the local authorities to handle.

In case of violations and shortcomings, the Provincial People's Committee will establish an interdisciplinary inspection team to inspect the construction of houses in urban areas, thereby issuing documents to correct investors in supervising house construction; clearly informing investors of their responsibilities and imposing penalties and handling some investors who still allow the situation of building houses that are not in accordance with approved designs.

"Strengthening the management of urban areas and apartment buildings, overcoming existing problems to create a modern, civilized urban face and living space for people. This is not only to comply with legal regulations but also to be responsible for the future, for future generations" - the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized.
