After implementation, Ha Lo was selected as the commune’s model village. The village received investments for lake renovation, road construction, and other improvements. To maintain the lake’s cleanliness and beauty, the village’s Party cell issued a thematic resolution, guiding Party members and social organization members to conduct environmental sanitation every Saturday morning and maintain the trees around the lake. Additionally, each association branch has taken responsibility for planting and maintaining flower gardens at historical sites. Furthermore, implementing the exemplary advanced new rural program, Ha Lo village is also the first to pilot the smart village model, with free WiFi installed at the village’s Cultural House and security cameras throughout the village.

After reviewing registered streets, the district selected specific streets for focused investment and assigned wards to implement through either social mobilization or district support if needed. The assigned wards issued competitive plans, organized campaigns to maintain urban civility, and promoted new lifestyles during the peak competition period celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Capital’s Liberation Day. They registered civilized urban streets and lifestyle commitments with the Department of Culture and Information, developed plans for civilized urban streets, and proposed solutions to maintain urban order and environmental sanitation. The wards also proposed flower garden and greenery projects, including flower planting, flag holder installation, and promotional banners. During the competition, wards developed plans assigning residential groups and front committees to conduct cross-checking on Saturday mornings, scoring and providing weekly reports. Monthly evaluations and lessons learned are conducted for underperforming groups.

This aims to create a green, clean, and beautiful living environment for residents to enjoy.
