Cities in the Capital: The locality has not been revealed, the “stork” of the land has already been established

Land price “runs” ahead of planning

The project of researching and developing the “city within the capital” model in the northern and western areas of Hanoi was officially launched at the 7th Conference, the Executive Committee of the City Party Committee. Hanoi (course XVII) took place in early March 2022.

However, from half a year ago, when Ho Chi Minh City announced the formation of the city. Thu Duc follows the model of a “city within a city”, there is also information that Hanoi wants to “follow in” to build the Northern area (including Dong Anh, Me Linh, Soc Son) and the West (Hoa Lac Urban Area). ) according to this model, causing land prices in these areas to continuously heat up.

In Hoa Lac area, investors (mainly speculators) from all over the world flocked to hunt for land, causing prices to skyrocket, from only about 8-10 million VND/m2 for beautiful plots of land and parked cars. door, suddenly skyrocketed to 15-25 million VND/m2, even in some places up to 30 million VND/m2.

Linh Duong, a personal broker, said that this is an opportunity “once every 10 years”, and at the same time convinces his group of customers to quickly put down money because the price is in an uptrend, if it is slow, they will lose money. missed opportunity.

“Like the old land of District 9, District 2 and Thu Duc, anyone who puts down money before Ho Chi Minh City officially announces the plan for about 2 years will make a lot of money,” this broker said and added that many people are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. The “big hand” broker quickly spread across the “cave, alley” to find termites to collect land in these areas, and then wait for the information to be officially announced to release the goods.

In the North, the price of project land, residential land, even garden land, and forest land in the areas adjacent to Me Linh, Soc Son, and Dong Anh also increased rapidly. Leaflets, billboards advertising buying, selling, consigning residential land, garden land, farmland, subdivision land, resettlement land … appeared scattered along both sides of the road in Soc Son district, concentrated in 3 communes Hien Ninh, Minh Phu and Minh Tri. For example, along the road near Viet Phu Thanh Chuong in Hien Ninh commune, every few tens of meters, there are billboards and leaflets for sale of land.

The sharing of people here said that from the end of November 2021, many groups of outsiders continuously appeared around the alleys, carrying maps with detailed lines, plots, and vertical lines. horizontal, diagonal … then pointing, asking questions. Looking around for a moment, they dabbed a red pen on the map and then quietly withdrew.

“The people who come to our village in recent days are mostly land ‘storks’ who lead visitors to see the land, but perhaps many people do not know that most of the village’s land is protection forest. If you buy it, you cannot build it. Houses and constructions, but the selling price is still very high, from 10-13 million VND/m2, an increase of nearly 40% compared to a few months ago,” said Mr. Hoa, a resident here.

In early January 2022, information about the 110km-long Ring Road 4 project, including the section passing through the districts of Soc Son and Me Linh, attracted many people to come here to buy land. According to the “storks” of land, the area of ​​Minh Tri, Thanh Xuan, Hien Ninh communes… Previously, the land price was only from 3-4 million VND/m2, now it has increased 3-4 times.

On the other hand, rumors about the possibility of merging a part of Phuc Yen territory to develop the northern city of Hanoi also caused land prices here to increase sharply. Land prices in the city center. Phuc Yen in planned urban areas increased by nearly 40%, many project land lots in Hung Vuong, Trung Nhi, Xuan Hoa wards are offered for sale at the price of 32-35 million VND/m2, residential land price in the village was also pushed up to 10-12 million/m2, almost equal to the peak price 12 years ago.

Accidentally “drawing a line” for the “stork” to run

According to architect Do Viet Chien, former Director of the Urban Development Department (Ministry of Construction), the transport infrastructure system connecting with 3 existing ring roads and Ring 4 is about to be deployed, focusing on building Building true satellite cities will be suitable for Hanoi. Development orientation is expected that by 2025, Hanoi will raise the maximum urbanization rate to 62%, which means that some suburbs, rural areas and districts will become urban areas. With about 10% of rural land to be converted to urban areas, it is necessary to develop a new management mechanism for both geographical, cultural and economic development for these suburban areas. .

However, up to now, whether under the previous name of “5 satellite cities” or currently “city in the capital” has not been concretized. There have been areas in the periphery that have been initially deployed, but it seems that only to serve the spontaneous housing needs of the people, not the true urban.

“No matter what model of development, the main purpose is still to reduce pressure on the inner city. Therefore, it is important for satellite cities to have both independent and supportive functions and share with the central urban area in terms of housing, training, industry, and services. Chien emphasized.

Architect Pham Thanh Tung, Chief of Office of the Vietnam Association of Architects, said that the city is also a special urban form, so it needs to be oriented as an economic – political – social center of an area. area. Therefore, the city itself must generate income, contribute to the overall growth, not just live on the “mother city”.

In Vietnam, Thu Duc City in Ho Chi Minh City is the “first city within the city” model, so it is highly expected, but there is still no clear mechanism, leading to difficulties in development. Looking around the world, China is one of the countries that has successfully built this model with Pudong in Ho Chi Minh City. Shanghai, making this city the new economic center of Asia after only 15 years of establishment.

According to the share of architect Ngo Viet Nam Son, who participated in the planning of Pudong, to form this area, the previous Shanghai government had planned many times with dozens of different options. After the master plan is completed, what to do first, what to do later, which objects, which businesses, which professional organizations need to prioritize, which items to invest in first… are all allocated by all levels. The government is very detailed, consistent and most importantly is given a special mechanism, for example, in attracting investment, Pudong can decide on its own without having to ask permission from the central government.

Talking to reporters, the leader of a large real estate corporation based on Lang Ha Street, Hanoi said that he is quite interested in the “city within the capital” model.

“Having traveled to many countries, to many cities, including Shanghai, I am very impressed with the model of Pudong and the level of real estate value of this city. Therefore, the most important thing for Hanoi at the moment is whether to create enough mechanisms for businesses to participate and focus on investing in a complete urban area with a full ‘shape’ to attract people. people come to live,” said the leader, emphasizing that a true satellite city should be created with economic, political, cultural, and social stories, not just urban areas. The house is lifeless, otherwise it will only “draw the way” for the “stork” of land to rush into the price.
