Nestled beside modern urban developments, the residents of Lũng neighborhood have endured 22 years of living in an area without official addresses or street names due to zoning regulations. All local roads are maintained through community contributions, ensuring basic accessibility.
Ms. Hoàng Thị Chiến (63) explains that land reclamation for two housing projects has left Lũng neighborhood as a low-lying basin, nearly 1 meter below surrounding developments. This causes severe flooding during rainfall.
Even minor rain or high tides, coupled with forgotten floodgate closures, result in immediate waterlogging for Lũng residents.
Household items are elevated to prevent damage from sudden flooding.
Appliances like washing machines and refrigerators are raised by over a meter to safeguard against water damage.
Valuables and electronics are strategically placed at height to avoid flood-related destruction.
Essential items are kept above ground level as a precautionary measure against flooding.
Prolonged water exposure has caused severe wall deterioration. Many homes, barred from renovation due to zoning restrictions, continue to decay despite unknown project timelines.
Most residents lack land ownership certificates due to zoning. Infrastructure and housing, severely degraded, can only be temporarily repaired, with no long-term investments due to potential land reclamation.
Residents manage essential services like electricity and water independently, navigating daily challenges without external support.
In 2019, Hải Phòng City issued Notice 54, allowing residents outside the 35-meter road zone to renovate homes. Those within the road zone must maintain current conditions, with no construction permitted.
Six years later, Lũng residents await news on road development and land reclamation, hoping for stability and improved living conditions.
Hưng Đạo Ward authorities acknowledge the city’s concern but cite delays due to pending road projects. Temporary drainage solutions have been implemented to mitigate flooding.
