Precious resources should be exploited

According to the General Assembly Building VN, urban not always need the master plan KGN, because it depends on the country's economic potential and the size of the urban population. Such urban than 1 million new people to the metro, or urban Japan requested from 300,000 people (in the snow, from 100,000) or more new to KGN development.

The experts say that, when GDP per capita reached $500, the country was able to develop KGN; reaching  $1,000, the start of the planning period and KGN urban development; reached $ 3,000, Urban land prices increase, the KGN urban development is mature and reach climax. Per capita income in the country has exceeded the  $1,000 threshold, and continues to increase. The level of urbanization has exceeded 30% and growing fast. According to international experience, in this context, our country must begin to question planning urban development KGN.

At the seminar "Planning urban and KGN development management" held in Ho Chi Minh City in July this year, the General Assembly Building VN asked Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to promote the supplement KGN planning in the current master plan and conduct detailed planning KGN development in the central business district, especially in the neighborhood walk, tourist spots (such as Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam in Hanoi internal) and KGN connection with the subway station, the pedestrian tunnel. In particular, it is necessary to improve the legal framework, from the legal framework of land, the planning framework of the financial mechanism. KGN is a form of precious resources should be actively exploited to become the second space of the modern city. To achieve that purpose, along with the application and development of advanced technologies in the construction of additional underground, at the same time, KGN topics on strategy, planning and management of urban development, and legal framework, institutions, respectively. Now is the appropriate time that urban authorities, first of all big cities, do not miss the promotion of the above.

Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Ngoc Dong, in the recently enacted law, urban development KGN but not enough, not uniform. The most important legal framework is the Land Act no mention exploit urban KGN. The relevant legal framework also does not mention whether or not explicitly mentioned. The absence of a comprehensive legal framework makes the system underground now be managed separately for each sector, there is no systematic coordination, so there is no data share underground, KGN. That is the reason for the unified planning, investment overlapping and inefficient. Even the organization of the management of urban development planning in general is also the stage of weakness, but an expression of the complaint is a condition digging to fill down several times to install infrastructure in the background street, due to the lack of coordination of related projects.
