Red River Boulevard project in Ha Noi to start construction on Dec 19: Prime Minister
VGP - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has asked for commencing the construction of the Red River Boulevard project and the Olympic-standard complex in Ha Noi on December 19.
The design for the The Red River Landscape Boulevard project
The Red River Boulevard project covers an 11,000-hectare urban development stretching more than 40 kilometers along the Red River.
The project will run through 16 communes and wards inside Ring Road 4, affecting about 40,000 residents and carrying an estimated price tag of more than VND400 trillion (roughly US$15 billion).
The project is described as a multi-layered 'green spine' linking the urban core to the river. The design envisions three tiers of development along the banks: housing and service centres on higher ground; parks, promenades and semi-flooded squares in the middle zone; and wetland ecological parks closer to the water, creating a 'green lung' to regulate Ha Noi's air and temperature.
The plan includes eight landscape parks and twelve themed parks, covering around 3,000 hectares of new green space. Two monorail lines, each about 40 kilometer-long, would run along both sides of the river and connect with existing and planned metro networks.
Meanwhile, the total research scale for the Olympic sports urban area is approximately 16,080 hectares, with subdivision A covering about 3,280 hectares. The planning period extends to 2045, with a vision set for 2065.
The project's goal is to create an urban complex centered on sports, tourism and ecological services in southern Ha Noi.
It seeks to establish a comprehensive sports complex and Olympic villages that meet regional and international standards, positioning the capital city to host significant events such as the Asian Games and the Olympic Games./.covers an 11,000-hectare urban development stretching more than 40 kilometers along the Red River.
