Hanoi to relocate eight administrative departments

The perspective of the concentration zone on Vo Chi Cong Road in Tay Ho District

This was revealed by Mai Xuan Vinh, deputy director of the municipal Department of Finance on Tuesday.

The eight departments are finance, planning and investment, planning and architecture, natural resources and environment, sciences and technology, construction, transport and the Hanoi Urban Planning Institute.

Vinh said several old offices from the above departments would be auctioned to create funds to build the second concentration zone at No 52 Le Dai Hanh Street in Hai Ba Trung District. It is also the present office of the Hanoi Department of Construction.

Vinh said building the two concentration zones would help save funds for services such as electricity, water and internet.

Residents and enterprises would also experience more convenient transactions, he said.
