The Hoa Binh provincial Department of Construction held a meeting on December 25 to review the 2023 performance and launched tasks for next year. Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Chuong attended and gave directions at the event.
A leader of the Construction
Department presents certificates of merit to the collectives and individuals
with excellent performance in 2023.
The department reported that in 2023, it has
proposed the provincial People’s Committee issue six legal documents; verified
10 construction plans with scale of 1:500 and three detailed plans with scale
of 1:500; verified technical economic reports and post-design construction
reports for 137 facilities; and granted construction capacity certificates to
62 organisations.
By implementing the targets and focal tasks
assigned by the provincial People’s Committee, the department has helped raise
the urbanisation rate in Hoa Binh to 34.8% (4% higher than the target) and the
rate of urban residents accessing clean water to 95% (2.15% higher than the
target). It has reached and surpassed seven targets ahead of schedule while
fulfilling four others on schedule.
During the year, the Construction Department was
also assigned to invest in six projects funded by the provincial budget.
Activities of its non-business units have generated an estimated 20.6 billion
VND (847,000 USD) in revenue, equivalent to 108.88% of this year’s target.
Addressing the event, Vice Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Chuong applauded the construction
sector’s performance in 2023.
He said that in the time ahead, the department
needs to submit more effective proposals about the state management over the
fields and criteria within its remit; improve the verification of planning
schemes; enhance the state management over architectural space, landscapes, and
urban infrastructure; and preserve and bring into play architectural values of
the Hoa Binh Civilisation.
In addition, the department needs to keep
coordination with district-level People’s Committees to speed up district-level
planning, planning of construction along the roads linking regions and along
Hoa Binh - Moc Chau Expressway, and planning of the Hoa Binh Reservoir
vicinity. It also needs to work with relevant agencies to make and verify the
construction plans for the urban areas expanded under the National Assembly
Standing Committee’s Resolution No 830/NQ-UBTVQH14 to serve as a basis for
drafting urban development programmes.
The official also demanded coordination in
making, verifying, and approving urban development programmes, along with the
proposals on upgrading urban areas, including Hoa Binh city into a second-tier
city and Luong Son district into an urban town.
