Two major construction contracts worth nearly $100 million have officially broken ground as part of the large-scale Xuyen Tam canal rehabilitation project in Ho Chi Minh City, which carries a total budget exceeding $700 million.

The Government Office has issued a statement conveying the conclusions of the Standing Government at a recent meeting regarding the implementation of the Red River landscape boulevard project in Hanoi.

On November 15, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a meeting of the Government’s Standing Committee to review the planning proposal for the Red River landscape boulevard and the Olympic sports urban area in Hanoi.

The Hanoi People's Committee has approved initial plans to build an Olympic-standard complex in the capital capable of hosting major international sporting events.

Hanoi's drainage system is still being improved according to the 2013 plan, calculated for 310mm rain over two days, while actual rainfall reached 500mm in less than a day, causing widespread flooding, according to the Ministry of Construction (MOC).

Despite serious deterioration, many old apartment buildings in Hanoi remain standing due to legal gaps that prevent forced demolition without owner consent.

Hanoi is preparing to launch an ambitious riverside boulevard and landscape project along the Red River, with a proposed investment of 300 trillion VND (approximately $12 billion).

Hanoi’s infrastructure can only handle 310mm of rain over two days, yet storms brought 500mm in under 24 hours.

Hanoi has approved a list of seven urgent infrastructure projects aimed at addressing pressing issues facing the capital, including urban flooding, environmental pollution, traffic congestion, and quality of life improvement.

A plan to turn downtown Saigon's riverfront into green and cultural zones signals a new vision for urban sustainability.

Planning for the two banks of the Red River requires a study of the "damages" that have occurred to the river not only in the past 25 years but also in the next 25 years.

An ambitious proposal aims to reshape Hanoi’s riverfront with a monorail and landscape corridor running 84 kilometers along the Red River.

Hanoi is preparing to transform both banks of the To Lich River into a 14km-long urban park, leveraging its open space and vacant plots.

After clearing the “Shark Jaw” building, Hanoi plans a historical and cultural boulevard at the heart of its capital.

The Hanoi People’s Committee has approved a detailed zoning plan at scale 1/500 for the Me Linh Park and Sports Complex in Me Linh commune.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has recently approved the investment policy for two new urban areas in Van Phong Economic Zone in the central province of Khanh Hoa with a total capital of more than 65 trillion VND (2.5 billion USD).

With sweeping infrastructure plans, Hanoi aims to turn the Red River into a cultural and ecological landmark.
