Planning of the Red River landscape avenue axis

The Red River Scenic Boulevard Axis is one of the five strategic axes in the Capital Master Plan. The project has a research scale of about 11,000 hectares, stretching 40 km along the Red River and passing through 16 communes and wards in the area inside Ring Road 4. This planning is expected to affect about 40,000 people.

According to Hanoi's orientation, the project will include about 8 landscape parks and 12 thematic parks, with a total area of ​​trees and water surfaces of more than 3,000 hectares. The project is expected to solve four major goals for the capital: reducing traffic congestion, minimizing environmental pollution, urban beautification and solving the problem of flooding in the inner city. When completed, the boulevard will also connect all bridges over the Red River.

Details of Olympic Sports Urban Area

For the Olympic Sports Urban Area, Hanoi has approved the planning task for two sub-zones C and D with a total area of ​​more than 8,200 hectares.

• Sub-area C: Has an area of ​​nearly 4,500 hectares, located in the administrative boundaries of Ngoc Hoi, Nam Phu, Hong Van, Chuong Duong, Thuong Phuc, and Thuong Tin communes.
• Sub-area D: Has a scale of more than 3,700 hectares, belonging to the administrative boundaries of Thanh Oai, Tam Hung and Dan Hoa communes.
