As Hanoi continues to advance social housing programmes, renovate ageing apartment complexes and promote transit-oriented urban development (TOD), expanding the rental housing stock is set to become a key pillar of its housing strategy.
Participants reviewed rental housing demand in each area, considering different market segments and target groups. They also examined the gap between supply and demand, and pinpointed issues in policy frameworks.
The PM said rental housing development must be integrated with urban planning, land-use planning, public transport, industrial zones and labour market development, with priority given to major cities, industrial parks and key economic corridors with full infrastructure.
Party General Secretary and State President To Lam stressed that citizens should have access to stable, safe and affordable housing suited to eligible beneficiaries, with rental housing becoming a long-term pillar.
