Estimated number and names of communes/wards in Hanoi after the arrangement

Regarding the organizational structure, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Home Affairs Mai Xuan Truong said that Hanoi currently has no separate policy for officials who retire early due to reorganization. This will be implemented according to the Central Government's policy. The city will transfer all district-level staff to the commune level, and also transfer some city-level staff to the commune level. The number of staff will remain the same for 5 years.

Hanoi currently has 30 district-level administrative units (12 districts, 17 districts, one town) and 526 commune-level administrative units (160 wards, 345 communes and 21 towns). The city has not announced the number of wards and communes after the reorganization, but if reduced by 70% according to the leadership's direction, Hanoi will have 133 wards, communes and towns.

The Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee informed that, according to the directive, the new commune-level administrative units after the merger will have an area that is neither too large nor too small. The number of commune-level administrative units will also be calculated most reasonably to perform the functions and tasks of the capital. Because if the number is too large, it will be unmanageable, and if the number is too small, it will be "far from the people".

By April 18, 7 districts had started collecting public opinions and proposed specific plans for ward arrangement.
