The co-operation of residents is crucial to the successful preservation and sustainable development of Ha Noi's Old Quarter, participants at a seminar heard on Saturday.
Addressing the seminar held at the newly-inaugurated Old Quarter Culture Centre at 28 Hang Buom Street, vice director of the Urban Architectural Institute Dr Pham Thuy Loan said residents had to get more involved in restoration and preservation as authorities only had enough funds to restore and repair a fraction of the hundreds of homes in the Old Quarter.
"That's why co-operation between authorities, researchers and residents is a must," said Loan.
Long said the major projects underway in the Old Quarter include work on reducing population density in the area and restoration of houses and the general streetscape along Ta Hien Street.
