Visions for the Greater Hanoi 2. City of Ports


1. The existing infrastructure should be used more efficiently. This can be done by upgrading and completing rail systems and adding transportation by water functioning as bypasses from one system to the other.

2. Adding new, large infrastructural projects: Making a T bone road system around the city, connecting the Ho Chi Minh to the motorways that link Hanoi with China. Instead of making the city more congested, new projected industry will link to the road system that widely goes around the city. It also connects in this way to the project airport and existing areas of industrial activity.

3. In the places where different infrastructural elements meet, interesting areas of industrial development come into existence. There is such a node, for example, where road, railroad and river come together near the projected airport. What will be the impact on the Red River and the urbanization of Hanoi City? Will there be improved accessibility to local markets, more connectivity? Will parts of Red River become more accessible, to inhabitants as well as to tourists?
