“The policy of renovating the area east of Hoan Kiem Lake to enhance public space is completely consistent with the overall planning of Hoan Kiem Lake and the urban development orientation of Hanoi” - that is shared by Mr. Trinh Hoang Tung, Vice Chairman of Hoan Kiem District People's Committee.
PV: People and many experts support the demolition of the "Shark Jaws" building because this is an opportunity to systematically plan the area around Hoan Kiem Lake. Can you share more about this issue?
Mr. Trinh Hoang Tung: After completing the renovation, it will create a public space that harmoniously connects with Dong Kinh - Nghia Thuc Square, walking street, increase green space, and limit construction.
In the context of increasingly strong urbanization, many large cities in the world have restructured buildings that are no longer suitable. These changes are sometimes necessary to create new public spaces, improve traffic, and enhance the quality of life. The demolition of the "Shark Jaw" building aims to improve the landscape and beautify the living environment, especially in important areas such as the city center associated with scenic - historical - cultural relics.
Here, research units focus on developing new public spaces that are more suitable for modern planning and suitable for preserving other cultural and historical values of the area. Along with the landscape, the heritage around Hoan Kiem Lake must ensure the criteria of improving spiritual life, serving economic - cultural - social interests and contributing to the development of the capital in the new period.
However, many people are wondering, when demolishing "Shark Jaws" and renovating the city, the departments need to have a specific plan for the idea of the new project. How to harmonize with the overall architecture of the old town while also avoiding commercialization?
- After demolition, to ensure that Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square is not overly commercialized, while still maintaining public space to serve residents and visitors, some possible directions are: Developing public space. Aiming to preserve public functions in this area. The District People's Committee will work with relevant agencies to specifically determine the permission to maintain open, airy space for residents and visitors.
Along with that is the control of commercial activities. Establish strict regulations on construction and business in the area. This includes limiting the number of shops and restaurants, and controlling the size and area of business households, to ensure that the space is still spacious for community activities.
What about spaces for cultural and artistic activities, sir?
- Space for culture and arts will be enhanced. Events, art performances, and exhibitions will be encouraged in the square. This will create a lively atmosphere and encourage people to participate in cultural activities.
In addition, it is necessary to design green spaces to help improve the quality of living space and create a beautiful, open space for both residents and visitors. However, this decision will depend on specific plans and feedback from the community.
Thank you very much!
