Specifically, the Planning has proposed 5 general development perspectives and 3 perspectives on spatial organization. Regarding the development perspective, it clearly emphasizes the factors related to "creating a spillover effect to promote the Red River Delta, the Northern key economic region, the Capital region and the whole country to develop together"; "inclusive, fast and sustainable development"; green urban development; the Red River is the green axis, the central landscape of the Capital; sustainable development on the principle of "following nature"; taking the criteria of green development, circular economy, environmental quality control towards the goal of achieving a net emission level of "0". Regarding spatial organization, the Capital Planning focuses on developing industries and fields concentrated along 5 economic corridors and belts, associated with 5 development axes; at the same time, it focuses on developing 5 types of space: construction space, underground space, digital space, cultural space, public space (especially green space).

The Capital Planning also sets out 20 specific goals, including 06 economic goals; 05 social goals; 06 environmental goals; 02 urban and rural goals and 01 defense and security goal. Among the goals set for this period, Hanoi identifies a number of targets higher than the national average such as: The proportion of digital economy accounts for 40% of GRDP; average GRDP/person reaches about 13,500 - 14,000 USD; the area of public green space in urban areas is about 10 - 12 m2/person; the urbanization rate reaches 65 - 70%...

In particular, the Planning has identified 5 pillars for the development of the Capital, including: (i) culture and heritage; (ii) 3 transformations (green transformation, digital transformation, circular economy); (iii) Synchronous, modern, highly connected infrastructure; (iv) Digital society, digital economy, smart cities; (v) Science, technology and innovation; and 06 key tasks, specifically: (i) Environmental protection; (ii) Transport, urban and rural development; (iii) Economy; (iv) Social culture; (v) Security, safety; (vi) Science, technology and innovation, human resources.

At the same time, the Plan also identifies 04 development breakthroughs, including: (1) Breakthrough in institutions and governance; (2) Breakthrough in investment in building synchronous, modern and connected infrastructure; (3) Breakthrough in developing high-quality human resources and exploiting human resources; (4) Breakthrough in urban areas, environment and landscape.

Identify the sectors and fields of the capital that must take the lead in applying scientific and technological achievements, approaching new development trends of the 4.0 revolution; smart development and digital economy, green transformation and circular economy, sharing economy based on digital transformation platform with large database centers and smart operations.

In which, determining the development orientation of important sectors (trade, finance, tourism, industry, agriculture, forestry and fisheries); development orientation of sectors and fields (Health and public health care; Education and training; Culture, sports; Labor, employment, social security; Science and technology; Security, defense, foreign affairs...); urban system planning and territorial organization in rural areas; development orientation of functional areas and technical infrastructure.

The plan also studied the allocation of development space into 05 socio-economic development zones, 05 development-focused spaces to exploit, use and promote development resources effectively, while at the same time having harmonious connections between sub-regions and spaces based on the potentials and comparative advantages of the regions, prioritizing the development of some leading sub-regions, focusing on some new spaces to create development momentum. The planning options for sectors, fields and localities are focused on developing along 04 corridors and 01 economic belt so that the capital Hanoi can truly become a convergence hub, a connection center, a driving force for intra-regional and inter-regional spread, playing an important role in connecting with provinces and cities in the Red River Delta, the capital region, the northern midland and mountainous region, towards international border gates and seaports, affirming Hanoi as the driving force for regional development, the growth pole of the country, the gateway of the ASEAN region connecting with China.

At the Workshop, the Ministry of Planning and Investment sought consultation and opinions from relevant ministries, agencies, organizations, experts and scientists on the Hanoi Capital Region Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050. On that basis, the planning agency will focus on researching, receiving and completing the Regional Planning dossier to soon organize appraisal and submit for approval according to regulations.
