Why did Bac Giang decide to cancel more than 100 urban and residential area projects?

The decision has just been signed and issued by Vice Chairman of Bac Giang Provincial People's Committee, Mr. Phan The Tuan.

These 102 projects have had decisions approving the list of urban and residential area projects needing investment attraction in 3 decisions of the Provincial People's Committee and 24 decisions of the Provincial People's Committee Chairman but have not yet had their investment policy decided.

Previously, at the end of December 2024, Deputy Director of the Department of Construction of Bac Giang Nguyen Ngoc Son signed a document to submit to the Provincial People's Committee and the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee to consider canceling the list of 102 urban and residential area projects that need to attract investment in the area so that the implementation of urban and residential area projects in the province can be carried out in accordance with regulations.

The reason why the Bac Giang Department of Construction proposed to cancel 102 urban and residential area projects is because according to current regulations, the investment procedures for urban and residential area construction have changed. Therefore, it is necessary to cancel the list of approved projects but the investment policy has not been approved.

In addition, the Department of Construction of Bac Giang province proposed that the Provincial People's Committee assign the People's Committees of districts, towns and cities to annually review and make a list of projects requiring land recovery, projects converting rice-growing land to other purposes, report to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration, and submit to the Provincial People's Council for approval in accordance with the provisions of law.

In the list of 102 canceled projects, there are many projects located in districts, cities, and towns: Luc Nam, Tan Yen, Hiep Hoa, Lang Giang, Yen The, Luc Ngan, Bac Giang, Viet Yen... with decisions approving the list from 2020-2024.

It is worth mentioning Nham Bien Ecological Urban Area, Nham Bien Town, Yen Dung District, which has a decision approving the list in 2020 with a scale of 45.3 hectares. There is also a decision in 2020, in the list of canceled projects, there is Quang Chau New Urban Area, Viet Yen District (30 hectares), Quyet Tien - Thanh Cong New Residential Area, Tien Phong Commune, Yen Dung District (19.6 hectares)...

Or some large-scale projects such as the high-class, smart ecological and service urban area in the south of Bac Giang city (280.2 hectares), Ninh Son urban area, Ninh Son commune and Quang Minh commune, Viet Yen district (nearly 144 hectares), Bac Giang mixed-use urban area and international market (296 hectares)...
