More tools to manage
The Hanoi City Architecture Management Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) issued by the Hanoi People's Committee are "a set of principles" for all levels of government and functional agencies to carry out management work in the field of architecture. For Hanoi, these Regulations are of great significance, being a step to concretize sanctions for managing urban and rural development after the Hanoi Capital Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050 and the Adjustment of the Hanoi Capital Master Plan to 2045, with a vision to 2065 were approved by the Prime Minister.
According to Dr. Architect Dao Ngoc Nghiem - Vice President of the Vietnam Urban Planning and Development Association, after the Law on Architecture, the Government and the National Assembly want to have regulations on architectural management. First of all, we must understand that this innovation is the concept of architecture. In architecture, it is not only architectural works but also architectural activities. This regulation is broader than the old regulation, still following the planning but expanding on architecture. In addition, in recent times, Hanoi has synchronously deployed systems of documents and tools to develop the city.
The Capital Law 2024, two planning projects and the Architecture Management Regulations and the Urban Development Program of the City are a set of development management tools according to orientation, demonstrating the seriousness of research of Hanoi City, inheriting the old regulations.
“The issue is to link this Regulation with the organization of planning implementation, especially the Urban Development Program. It can be said that it must be implemented synchronously, there must be a reasonable organizational structure, widespread propaganda; regular inspection and handling of violations. On the other hand, the role and responsibility of the community needs more specific guidance to do well in the orientation" - Architect Dao Ngoc Nghiem emphasized.
Strengthen propaganda, inspection and supervision
In recent times, districts in Hanoi have implemented the Regulation on architectural management. For example, according to Vice Chairman of Dong Da District People's Committee Ha Anh Tuan, to ensure the implementation of the Regulation in accordance with Decision No. 73/QD-UBND dated December 31, 2024 of Hanoi People's Committee, Dong Da District People's Committee has requested the District Urban Management Department to receive, review and evaluate recommendations and proposals related to this Regulation from relevant agencies, organizations and individuals to provide appropriate explanations and instructions.
Synthesize and consider proposals for cases arising from practice or not yet specified in this Regulation to advise the Dong Da District People's Committee to report to the Department of Planning and Investment and the Hanoi City People's Committee. Preside over editing the basic contents of the Architectural Management Regulations related to the authority of the district and investors with construction activities for dissemination.
Proposing the implementation of an action program in architectural and landscape management; enhancing the application of information technology and geographic information technology (GIS) in architectural and landscape management; researching the possibilities of applying the BIM model or using artificial intelligence in planning and architectural management.
Take the lead in handling cases of violations of architectural management regulations as proposed by the Construction Order Management Team and the Ward People's Committee. Review the current status of architecture and constructions, houses in the area to find solutions to implement renovation and embellishment, especially in areas with unsynchronized and unsightly landscapes and architecture that affect the general architectural landscape of the area and locality.
The Urban Construction Order Management Team proposes to handle cases of construction that are not in accordance with the granted construction permits, inspects construction investment projects; proposes measures to remedy situations that cause loss of aesthetics of space, architecture, and landscape (such as expansion, leaving old, damaged objects, equipment, architectural objects, advertisements, etc.) through the Urban Management Department.
Dong Da District People's Committee also requested the District Department of Culture and Information to study the provisions of the Regulation on advertising activities; guide organizations and individuals to comply with the regulations and review the entire system of signs and billboards to find solutions. Ward People's Committees study and disseminate to organizations and people in the ward about the Regulation on architectural management; summarize difficulties and problems in accordance with the actual situation in the locality.
On the other hand, according to Architect Dao Ngoc Nghiem, the authorities need to widely disseminate the orientation and management tools to the people, not just the management agencies, and must choose a solution for the press and media to participate in the dissemination to all people. This is an issue that the city is leaving open, and needs more attention, at the same time, inspection and supervision must be strengthened.
According to experts, there will be some problems in the process of implementing the Architectural Management Regulations. For example, the operation of the Regulations will certainly reveal shortcomings. Because all regulations when applied will have practical problems, unlike the calculations during the survey and synthesis process from the past. Therefore, the competent authority can completely continue to adjust in the coming time to make the Regulations more complete.
The Architectural Management Regulations are a common policy of the State and Hanoi City, creating a new habit, a new way of doing things, and a new approach to solving problems. The Architectural Management Regulations contain many revolutionary contents, but are based on scientific grounds; if implemented, they will show progress in the construction and management of sustainable urban development.
On the other hand, the Architectural Management Regulations have regulations that reach down to the district level. The districts and towns base on the content of the regulations to implement. When applying, we need to have a consistent sanction from the city to the district, following the system of city-level departments and branches to the district-level departments and offices. At the same time, Hanoi City needs to propagate, mobilize, and guide the community to implement promptly.
