Visions for the Red River Delta 3. Growing a Delta

Hanoi is connected to the port city of Hai Phong and other smaller cities via water and land. In recent years, Hanoi and the delta grew and ate away open spaces and lakes with little consideration. By rethinking the infrastructure network and combining it with a green structure, guiding principles may be derived.

[ ISSUE ]
Could it be possible to propose a structured method to prevent the unbalanced growth and could reforestation and the reinforcement of various patterns of vegetation structure the growth of a city?
1. The infrastructure has guided growth of industry, but vegetation can have a strong character, directing and guiding urbanization
2. Combining with water networks or infrastructures to make up for spatial organizational principles and also prevents informal development from polluting the landscape.
3. The forested areas can be extended to become a linear structuring principle, a protective infrastructure, and help as a zone of protection between industry, housing and agriculture. It can filter the winds that carry industrial pollution.
4. The connection between forest, mountains, and main river systems.
