Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Tran Sy Thanh has issued a plan to implement the project for the investment and construction of five districts: Dong Anh, Gia Lam, Thanh Tri, Hoai Duc, and Dan Phuong.
Among the five districts mentioned, Dong Anh and Gia Lam have essentially completed the initial phase of investment and infrastructure development to meet the criteria for establishing new urban districts. Meanwhile, Thanh Tri and Hoai Duc are currently undergoing evaluation and recognition of their infrastructure development status.

To ensure progress, the Hanoi People’s Committee has instructed Dong Anh and Gia Lam districts to collaborate with the Department of Home Affairs and other relevant departments to finalize the project proposal for appraisal by the ministries. The goal is to submit the proposal for the establishment of Dong Anh and Gia Lam districts to the National Assembly Standing Committee for approval in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025.
Regarding Thanh Tri and Hoai Duc districts, the Hanoi People’s Committee has instructed them to proactively coordinate with relevant departments to provide necessary documents and data for evaluating the criteria for becoming new urban districts. Simultaneously, they should develop solutions to accelerate the completion of unmet criteria.
Hanoi authorities have urged these two districts to prioritize allocating investment capital for the construction of works and projects to ensure they meet the criteria for becoming new urban districts. The goal is to submit the proposal for the establishment of Thanh Tri and Hoai Duc districts to the National Assembly Standing Committee for approval by the end of 2025.
As for Dan Phuong district, it needs to continue reviewing the implementation of the project and evaluating the criteria. Additionally, specific solutions should be formulated to complete the project proposal.
The Hanoi People’s Committee has advised Dan Phuong district to closely coordinate with relevant departments to address any difficulties and obstacles in the process of developing the project proposal for becoming a new urban district. Dan Phuong district is responsible for reporting the roadmap to the city and proactively proposing plans and timelines for preparing the necessary documents and project proposals.
In 2023, the Hanoi People’s Council approved the project proposals for the establishment of Dong Anh and Gia Lam districts. According to the proposals, Dong Anh would comprise 24 wards, while Gia Lam would have 16 wards. For these administrative units to become new urban districts, the approval of the National Assembly Standing Committee is required.
Currently, Hanoi has 30 administrative units at the district level, including 12 districts, 17 rural districts, and one town. The 12 districts are Ba Dinh, Hoan Kiem, Dong Da, Hai Ba Trung, Bac Tu Liem, Nam Tu Liem, Cau Giay, Ha Dong, Hoang Mai, Long Bien, Tay Ho, and Thanh Xuan.
