Renovating the Western Quarter, and expanding the public space along the An Cuu River

HNN.VN - “Thuan Hoa Ward needs to take the initiative in researching planning options and proposing investments, while also inviting businesses to participate in developing public amenities, services, and tourism. The proposals should link new development investments with urban renovation, and assess the feasibility of implementation during the current term,” emphasized Mr. Le Tri Thanh, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, and Chairman of the City People’s Committee.

On October 9, Mr. Le Tri Thanh chaired a working session to review reports on proposed investments in Thuan Hoa Ward.

At the working session, Thuan Hoa Ward People’s Committee presented proposals to renovate the park stretching from Ga Bridge to An Cuu riverside park; to install a canopy over the Chu Van An - Pham Ngu Lao - Vo Thi Sau pedestrian quarter; to make use of cultural infrastructure assets along Le Loi Street; and some other urban space development initiatives.

Accordingly, the project to renovate the park from Ga Bridge to An Cuu riverside park aims to complete the green park system, improve the landscape and living environment, and create space for residents to relax, play, and exercise, while also enhancing the area opposite Hue Railway Station.

The project to install canopy over the Chu Van An - Pham Ngu Lao - Vo Thi Sau pedestrian quarter aims to make the area more convenient for residents and visitors in different weather conditions. It is also expected to improve the use of the pedestrian quarter, and contribute to the development of commerce, services, tourism, and the night-time economy.

The proposal to make use of cultural infrastructure assets along Le Loi Street seeks to maximize the value of existing cultural facilities, and establish a cultural, culinary, and artistic space that reflect Hue’s identity. It will also diversify offerings for residents and visitors, and improve the use of public assets.

In his remarks, Chairman of the City People’s Committee Le Tri Thanh stressed that resource allocation should prioritize projects that generate new products and services, create added value, and bring in revenue, thereby providing funding for further investment in other projects.

“The ward should publicize and present the plans so that residents, particularly business households, understand them clearly and take part in the renovation. Implementation must follow a specific roadmap, with clear timelines for the commencement and completion of each component,” directed Mr. Le Tri Thanh.
