The Politburo agreed to study the establishment of a second airport in Hanoi.

Permanent member of the Party Central Committee Secretariat Luong Cuong has just signed and issued Conclusion No. 80 of the Politburo on the Planning of Hanoi Capital City for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, and the Revised Master Plan for Hanoi Capital City until 2045, with a vision to 2065.

One of the key priorities requested by the Politburo is that Hanoi needs to arrange and allocate socio -economic development space according to a center-line structure of economic corridors, belts, and development axes, linked with the effective mobilization and utilization of resources, regional linkages, cultural connections, and connections to digital space, science, technology, and innovation.

In addition, strengthening regional connectivity, especially in transportation and logistics, is crucial to leveraging the strengths of Hanoi's waterway, road, air, and rail transport systems, gradually narrowing the gap between Hanoi and other localities in the region and the country.

" There is consensus on the necessity of adding dual-use functions to the Gia Lam and Hoa Lac military airports; at the same time, research should be conducted on establishing a second airport. However, careful study and calculation are needed regarding the suitability and socio-economic impacts on the Capital and neighboring localities to determine the location of the second airport, ensuring efficiency and suitability to the development realities of the Capital and the Red River Delta region ," the conclusion stated.

In parallel with this, the Politburo noted that Hanoi should prioritize the early implementation of the urban railway system development.

According to the Politburo, regarding the proposal for a high-speed railway line along the North-South axis running through the central area of ​​Hanoi, via Hanoi Station, as proposed by the Party Committee of the Government, further careful study and assessment of its feasibility, effectiveness, and compatibility with the railway network plan are required.

According to the Politburo, Hanoi must identify environmental protection issues, address pollution in rivers, lakes, and air, and plan waste and solid waste treatment areas in a scientific, safe, and efficient manner as urgent requirements that need to be focused on and prioritized.

At the same time, the capital city needs to accelerate breakthroughs in infrastructure development, prioritizing the planning and construction of transportation and urban infrastructure systems. The goal is to complete the construction of 14 urban railway lines and ring roads, gateway traffic junctions, and bridges across the Red River before 2035 to expand development space, enhance connectivity, and reduce traffic congestion.

The Politburo also noted the need to develop an integrated public transportation system encompassing bicycles, buses, and urban rail, linked to a roadmap, mechanisms, and breakthrough policies for green transportation transformation. Simultaneously, it emphasized the fundamental need to address issues related to clean water, wastewater treatment, and definitively resolve flooding problems.

According to the Politburo's conclusions, Hanoi must have a roadmap and mechanisms and policies to effectively relocate production and medical facilities that are incompatible with the planning; move universities, government offices, and large enterprise headquarters out of the inner city; develop a plan to expand development space to the north of the Red River; and simultaneously carry out urban renovation and reconstruction to improve the quality of life, living conditions, and safety for its citizens.

" Converting the functions of the headquarters of some ministries, departments, and large enterprises to prioritize the construction of museums, especially the Museum of the Communist Party of Vietnam in the Ba Dinh political center; cultural and creative spaces, public spaces, parks and green spaces... ", the conclusion stated.
