Hanoi Approves 4,560-Hectare Olympic Sports Urban Area Sub-Zone B Master Plan
The Hanoi People’s Committee has issued Decision No. 5398/QĐ-UBND, approving the planning task for the Olympic Sports Urban Area Sub-Zone B at a scale of 1:2,000. This marks a crucial step in the capital’s vision for large-scale sports urban development, following the earlier approval of Sub-Zone A.
The planning area encompasses the administrative boundaries of Thuong Tin, Tam Hung, Thuong Phuc, and Dan Hoa communes. The specific scope is as follows:


The master plan outlines a diverse land-use strategy, including areas for sports, residential zones, mixed-use developments, public services, technical infrastructure hubs, schools, public green spaces, cultural sites, water bodies, transportation networks, and agricultural land. This integrated approach aims to balance economic, social, and environmental development while enhancing the quality of life for residents in Hanoi’s southern districts.
The Hanoi Department of Architecture and Planning’s Management Board for Architectural Planning has been tasked with organizing the planning process. A consulting firm will be selected through a standard designation procedure, adhering to public procurement regulations. The Hanoi Department of Architecture and Planning will review the plan, while the Hanoi People’s Committee will provide final approval. The planning process is expected to be completed within nine months from the decision’s issuance.
The approval of the Olympic Sports Urban Area Sub-Zone B planning task is a significant milestone in the development strategy for the southern area of the Red River. Upon completion, the Olympic Sports Urban Area is poised to become a leading regional hub for sports, culture, and tourism, driving infrastructure, services, education, and tourism growth. This aligns with Hanoi’s vision to become a “Creative, Sporty, and Sustainable City” by 2065.
