The 200-metre book street will link Hai Ba Trung and Ly Thuong Kiet streets. The funding for creating the book street and organising related events will come from the city’s budget. Local authorities considered turning Dinh Le-Nguyen Xi into an official book street, however, the road was deemed too narrow and crowded with traffic, so, 19/12 Street was selected.
