Hanoi is pursuing several development initiatives focused on rural modernization and social housing. The city has launched a national target program for the 2026–2035 period, aiming to transition rural areas into “smart villages” through digital transformation and green infrastructure. This program includes strict environmental standards, such as requiring 100% collection and treatment of solid domestic waste.

In conjunction with rural development, the city is working toward national social housing goals. To support these efforts, Hanoi is developing specialized software to manage the social housing registration process. This digital platform is intended to allow citizens to access project information and submit applications online. The Ministry of Construction has directed that this local system must synchronize with the national housing and real estate market database to ensure administrative efficiency and prevent the duplication of existing centralized functions.
