Hanoi Planning

The rapid urbanization in Hanoi has significantly reduced the amount of living space available, leaving residents with fewer recreational areas, particularly in the inner city core.

The goal is to increase the number of urban districts from 12 to 18 by 2030.

Hanoi will continue with its urban cluster model: a central city, five satellite cities, and eco-towns separated by green belts.

Hanoi's updated General Planning until 2045, with a vision to 2065, has given a solid shape to the city’s development orientations, particularly its urban spaces.

Traditional rural architectural treasures like stilt dwellings and communal houses are being commercialized and relocated to urban areas, undermining their original cultural and architectural integrity.

It is critical to put available riverbank land to good use in order to enhance landscape, cultural, economic, and tourism values while ensuring flood and disaster prevention.

Hanoi, with its thousand-year heritage and uniquely historical and cultural layers along the Red River, stands as one of Southeast Asia's most vibrant cities.

This is among a series of proposals made by the Hanoi People’s Committee to amend the Capital Law.

The future development of the capital's spatial landscape should be in line with the vision of a sustainable, environmentally friendly and smart city.

Hanoi's key economic drivers such as investment, exports and consumption should be the focus of further promotion.
