Truong Vinh Ward (Nghe An) was merged from the wards: Vinh Tan, Truong Thi, Hung Dung, Ben Thuy, Trung Do, Hung Phuc and Hung Hoa commune of Vinh City before. Currently, in this ward there are old collective housing areas that are decades old and have seriously degraded.

Hanoi Textile and Garment Company's housing complex (Coc Soi housing complex), located in block 7, Ben Thuy ward (old), now Truong Vinh ward. This housing complex was built in the late 70s and early 80s of the last century. Around 1992, it was sold at a discount to households, who were officials and workers of the factory. Because this housing complex is now degraded, when viewed from above, it is easy to see that this housing complex looks like an old, patchwork, messy shirt. Photo: Tien Dong

The apartment buildings share a common wall, only about 30m wide.²Roofs covered with fiber cement or corrugated iron are very damp and do not meet basic living needs. When it rains, it leaks, and when it is sunny, it is as hot as a furnace. Photo: Tien Dong

Mr. Mai Van Su - a resident of this apartment complex said: My family has 3 generations living in a cramped house. When it rains, we are afraid of it collapsing, when it is sunny, it is hot. Children go to school, go to work, and when they come home, they just want to go outside because the house is very stuffy. We really hope that the local government will continue to implement the policy of renovating old apartment buildings with appropriate land prices, so that people have stable housing and do not have to live temporarily like this forever.

Because it was built a long time ago and is in disrepair, this apartment complex has many potential safety risks. Especially the risk of fire and explosion is high, especially during the hot season. Because the roads are very narrow, the houses are close together, the electric wires are tangled like spider webs, and many of the equipment is old and broken. Just a small mistake can lead to serious consequences. Photo: Tien Dong

Mr. Tuong Dang Bang - Block leader of block 7, who is also a resident of this apartment complex, said: Coc Soi apartment complex previously had an area of more than 27,000m2.², with 22 rows of level 4 houses and 246 households. More than 2 years ago, the first 54 households were settled according to the urban beautification plan of Ben Thuy ward. More than 1 year ago, another 65 households were also drawn for locations, however, because there has not been a decision to approve the land price of the State, the handling of this old row of apartments is currently stopped.

bna_10(1).jpg — The lack of uniformity in the settlement of the collective housing area has created a contrasting image between the renovated houses (circled in red in the photo) on one side and the dilapidated houses on the other. Mr. Nguyen Tat Son - Chairman of the People's Committee of Truong Vinh Ward said: The renovation of old collective housing areas in the ward is an urgent need. In the immediate future, the ward will direct professional staff to urgently review, develop plans and propose appropriate solutions and mechanisms to report to competent authorities for consideration.
