The Republic of Korea to help Hanoi plan development

The Hanoi People's Committee has approved the report of the RoK-sponsored technical support project, "Strategy on urban development planning along Red River's banks from Thang Long Bridge to Long Bien Bridge".

The project will examine the theoretical and practical aspects of urban development in Hanoi and review urban planning and development policies. It will also recommend development planning measures for the 11-km-long area along the banks of the Hong River. The stakeholders, including Hanoi Institute of Construction and Planning, Korea Research Institute for Human Settlements and Korea Bank, have worked together to ensure a smooth run for the project.

The Vice Chairman of the Municipal People's Committee, Nguyen Quoc Hung, has asked the relevant departments and agencies to cooperate with the organisations engaged in the project, especially in sharing data.
