Accordingly, about 59,000 people are to have their housing demand satisfied in industrial parks andconcentrated production zones.

The provincial People’s Committeesaid by 2025, Hung Yen will need to have provided about 17,000 apartmentscovering a total flooring space of over 1.06 million square metres. Housing projectsfor workers will require about 82.6 hectares of land.

It looks to raise the rate of workers with housing demand met to 85% by 2030,equivalent to nearly 160,000 people. To that end, about 45,700 apartments witha total flooring space of more than 2.86 million square metres will have to besupplied. Over 221 hectares of land will be needed to build such housingprojects in this period.

To achieve those targets, the committee has ordered related agencies to overhaul urban and industrial parkplanning to ensure sufficient land for those projects, facilitate investment inhousing development, and revoke the projects lagging behind schedule.

Local authorities also asked the HungYen branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies to press on with providing preferentialloans for workers to purchase or rent social housing, build or repair houses inline with regulations./.
