PASSAGE 2

Construction Outlook for the Haiphong District

This report is concerned primarily with construction of homes in the Haiphong area in the nextdecade There are many factors which influence the construction of houses in the area, and part ofthe report is devoted to an analysis of these factors: population growth and the increased need forhousing, economic activity, and current housing facilities The information used in the preparation

of this report was gathered from the Haiphong Chamber of Commerce, census tracts, governmentreports and books relating to housing

Last year, the estimated population of corporate Haiphong was 724,000, an increase of elevenpercent over the Vietnam Census figure The population of metropolitan Haiphong was 922,000.The considerable growth of metropolitan Haiphong is reflected in expansion of the city's living area

by roughly thirteen percent Haiphong covers an area of 295.5 square miles, of which 19 squaremiles is land There is more than enough room for expansion, especially in the Gingh Bo, Quan Toand Shangti areas

Although there may appear to be adequate housing facilities for the population, twenty-five percent

of those units are dilapidated In general, the economic conditions in Haiphong seem extremelyfavorable for a continued increase in new housing construction and housing improvements Theintroduction of the new Hunddei automobile manufacturing plant will further develop the economy

of the metropolitan area Income, in general, will continue to rise as the industrial activity in thearea picks up

One could conclude that home construction in the future will be at least as high as it was last year,with a good chance of a five to ten percent increase

11What is the purpose of this report?
