Thu Thiem New Urban Area project to be scrutinizedThe HCMC delegation of National Assembly deputies plans to inspect the Thu Thiem New Urban Area project whose original 1/5000 zoning map the city government recently said is missing. Planning for the new urban area began in 1996, as the then Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet issued a decision approving its development. A design for Thu Thiem, together with the original zoning map, is believed to be attached to this decision and signed by the then Government leader. During the inspection period, relevant departments and agencies will have to prove their points on the basis of legal documents such as notices on conclusions of the city government, and policies on the area and status of Thu Thiem area. The maps, together with a statement asking for approval for the 1/5000 planning of Thu Thiem New Urban Area, were submitted to the central Government at that time, he said.
