Deputy Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Communist Party, Dang Minh Thong, has directed that the renovation of old apartment buildings in Ho Chi Minh City be approached comprehensively and in groups, rather than as isolated, individual projects. This strategy aims for a more thorough resolution of existing issues. He emphasized the importance of tackling these projects collectively to achieve effective and lasting results. The directive seeks to move away from piecemeal solutions and address the problems inherent in aging housing stock across the city. This approach is expected to improve the overall urban environment and address long-standing concerns regarding the safety and living conditions of residents in older buildings throughout Ho Chi Minh City. The plan focuses on grouping apartments for renovation to maximize efficiency and impact. It reflects a broader effort to modernize housing infrastructure in Ho Chi Minh City.
