Hanoi - Building a new model in the era of growth

G
At a pivotal moment - when a term is about to end and the door to a new term is opening wide, Hanoi is facing a huge challenge, a great responsibility but also full of promise: Becoming a cultural model of the whole country, a pioneer in leading the era of national growth.

Never before has culture been placed at the center of a long-term strategic vision like it is today. Thanks to that, in the 2020-2025 term, Hanoi has made a strong transformation, marking proud marks in the development of culture and cultural industry. Culture is no longer simply a spiritual foundation of society, but gradually becoming an endogenous driving force for sustainable development, contributing increasingly greater economic value to the capital.

However, with its position as the heart of the country, a place where the quintessence of national culture converges, crystallizes and spreads, the requirement for Hanoi is not only to maintain its role as the largest cultural center in the country, but also to break through and shape new standards, both in terms of management thinking, creative space, people and lifestyle, affirming its pioneering role in transforming cultural values into abundant resources for economic development.

The draft Political Report submitted to the 18th Congress of the Hanoi Party Committee continues to affirm that culture is a pillar of development, with the requirement of elevating the capital's culture, creating a breakthrough in thinking and action. General Secretary To Lam also set a clear mission: Hanoi must become a model for the whole country in cultural development, demonstrating a pioneering and leading role.

Big challenge. But an opportunity not to be missed.

It is time for Hanoi to make a strong breakthrough out of the old paths and old frameworks. The city of a thousand years of culture needs to position itself more clearly in the new era: Modern but imbued with identity, dynamic but deeply understanding of tradition, developing quickly and strongly but sustainably and humanely. In the new vision, cultural resources must truly become the key driving force for the socio-economic take-off, elevating Hanoi to become the leading cultural industrial center in the Asia-Pacific region, with the ultimate destination: Taking people's happiness as the measure of development.

The series " Hanoi - Building a new model in the era of rising up " is a journey through spaces, typical models, with people, vivid stories, persistent efforts, practical breakthroughs... All show a Hanoi that is eager and determined to affirm its worthy position in the new era, a modern Hanoi but not separated from its core, a Hanoi whose every step forward is a continuation of the eternal quintessence of Thang Long - Dong Do, ready to deeply integrate and firmly position itself as a regional cultural industrial center on the global cultural map.

From vivid reality, from multi-dimensional perspectives, the answer to the question: "How can Hanoi truly become a cultural model?" is gradually clarified.

Hanoi's mentality is ready...
