Designed by Hong Kong-based P&T Consultants Pte Ltd, the smart urban area is connected with Hanoi’s downtown districts by Nhat Tan Bridge.
The heart of the urban area will be a 108-story financial tower sitting in the entrance of the city.
The complex is designed to be environmentally-friendly with advanced technologies in water and energy using, education and healthcare.
So far, the consortium has completed legal documents and becomes ready to invest in the mega project.
The infrastructure would be interconnected with other quarters of Hanoi, enabling commuters to travel by bus and tram.
