Ho Chi Minh City Chairman emphasizes social housing accuracy

During the 6th session of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council, Chairman Nguyen Van Duoc addressed the urgent need for effective social housing implementation. While the city has planned public land funds for social housing, the Chairman emphasized that the focus must remain on reaching the correct target groups, specifically low-income residents, rather than merely pursuing quantity.

Mr. Duoc called for a shift in administrative mindset from “issuing policies” to “managing results.” He stressed that every resolution must clearly define responsible agencies, specific tasks, completion deadlines, and required resources. He noted that the city must move beyond counting passed resolutions to evaluating how many bottlenecks they actually resolve and how much they facilitate life for citizens and businesses.

Regarding urban planning and public investment, the Chairman stated that planning is only the first step; the priority is organizing implementation to drive growth. He also directed departments to resolve bottlenecks in procedures, site clearance, and materials to ensure public investment projects are completed effectively.
