The city’s authorities will also repurpose existing car parks in historic inner-city areas to create underground and multi-storey parking zones.
Based on Hanoi's recently approved underground space plan, the city's subterranean area will encompass 756 square metres across 20 districts, with a maximum depth of 30 metres. The underground network will comprise transportation, technical infrastructure, electrical systems, and public spaces such as commercial and service centres, supermarkets, entertainment venues, and car parks./.
