Hanoi (VNA) - The capital city of Hanoi is striving to increase its urbanisation rate to 60-62% by 2025 and around 65-75% by 2030.
The objectives are included in an action programme issued by the municipal Party Committee that outlines its efforts to implement the Politburo's Resolution No.06-NQ/TW, dated January 24, 2022, on the planning, construction, management, and sustainable development of urban areas in Vietnam to 2030, with a vision to 2045.
Other key targets are to expand the urban construction area to about 30% of the total natural land area by 2025 and 33-36% by 2030.
The city intends to complete the planning of all districts and satellite urban areas, as well as concrete planning for renovation and reconstruction of old apartment buildings.
The city will invest in building new hospitals, with priority given to the early completion of construction on four large general hospitals at the gateways of the capital city, and fulfilling the target of 30-35 beds per 10,000 people by 2025.
The municipal People’s Committee will strive for the average GRDP growth rate in the 2021 - 2025 period to be higher than the country’s average, GRDP in the 2026 - 2030 period to increase by 8.0 - 8.5% a year, and per capita GRDP of 12,000 - 13,000 USD. The proportion of processing and manufacturing in the GRDP will be 17% by 2025, 20% by 2030; and digital economy 25-30% by 2025 and 35-40% by 2030.
Hanoi also targets urban construction land as a proportion of the overall natural land set at about 30% by 2025, with hopes to attain between 33-36% by 2030. These details will be further scrutinised during the formulation of the Hanoi Capital Plan, the adjustment of the General Plan for Hanoi Capital, and the city's Urban Development Programme.
By 2025, Hanoi plans to finalise all district-level construction planning, zoning of satellite urban areas, functional zone developments, detailed plans for refurbishment regions, regeneration of dated flat complexes, and urban development schemes across the city. This encompasses the introduction of an all-encompassing set of guidelines and standards linked to planning and architecture. It also involves making necessary planning adjustments to facilitate the evolution of districts into urban districts.
The city is also committed to reaching a transport land ratio over urban construction land (inclusive of static transport) of 12-15% by 2025 and 15-20% by 2030. The rate of public transport users is set to be about 30-35% by 2025, and 45-50% by 2030. The anticipated average green space per urban dweller is projected to be around 7.8-8.1sq.m per individual by 2025 and approximately 12-14 sq.m per individual by 2030. The mean housing floor space per person in urban regions is slated to achieve 31sq.m per individual by 2025 and 33sq.m by 2030.
Hanoi aims to refurbish, enhance, and finance the establishment of new hospitals. Priority is given to the swift completion of four major general hospitals situated at the city's entrances, with an objective of offering 30-35 beds per thousand inhabitants by 2025.
The ambition is to elevate the aggregate count of hospital beds in medical facilities (within specialist healthcare centres and assorted hospital tiers) to about 21,880 beds by 2025 and approximately 24,380 beds by 2030. The objective is to achieve a hospital bed ratio for urban healthcare institutions of 2.8 per 1,000 individuals by 2025, and 3.2 by 2030, maintaining at least 15 doctors for every 10,000 individuals. This is paired with human resources development to guarantee effective management post-investment completion.
The city has ambitions to finalise the Belt Road 4 by 2027 and is laying down investment plans for the Belt Road 5 to be initiated before 2030./.
