VietNamNet - Big cities need chief architect

Both Hanoi and HCM City had chief architects in the 1990s. Half a decade after canceling this system, the Construction Ministry now, again, wants head architects to guide the overall design of major hubs.

 

The ministry has drafted a scheme entitled “Chief architects in urban areas”, which emphasizes the importance and necessity of having chief architects in big major cities. The scheme also reviews the previous chief architect model and suggests it be re-implemented in cities of the third-grade and up, and a few special cases, as of 2011.
