HIC is envisioned as a central “brain” connecting data, resources, policies, technology and culture to address urban development challenges, operate the national innovation ecosystem, promote a sustainable digital economy and digital society, improve the quality of life for local residents, and foster creative industries, particularly cultural industries linked to Hanoi’s identity.
Technology has opened up new approaches to heritage preservation and promotion. At sites such as the Temple of Literature, Hanoi’s Old Quarter and the Thang Long Imperial Citadel, night tours featuring creative lighting, immersive storytelling and extended reality (XR) applications have expanded visitors’ experiences and reimagined how heritage can be explored.
