Now we have the money, but no district or county has completed the detailed planning for old apartment renovation.” Without proper planning, construction cannot proceed. In Ba Dinh District, although residents have agreed to the renovation, construction cannot start due to the lack of detailed planning. “We apologize for this issue,” Mr. Thanh added.
