At the conference of the Executive Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee term XVII in March, the focus was on the Master Plan for Hanoi’s development in the period of 2021-2030, with a vision towards 2050. The plan emphasizes the need for synchronous infrastructure development, regional connectivity, and transportation infrastructure investment. This includes 14 urban railway routes, the construction of cross-river bridges to boost development north of the Red River, and the research and construction of a second international airport in the southern region to meet the demands of the capital and the northern region.
Additionally, the plan proposes the development of a cluster of urban areas, including a central urban area and satellite cities. It also introduces new urban models with specific functions: transit-oriented development (TOD), airport-oriented development, industrial-urban-service complexes, and the “15-minute city” concept.
