The Hanoi People's Committee has approved a new scheme for managing the city’s greenery, parks, and water surfaces. The plan aims to create a unique landscape identity for different areas by designating one or two dominant tree species per street to improve aesthetic uniformity and simplify maintenance. Under these regulations, tree selection will be tailored to urban characteristics: historical areas will prioritize traditional species with compact canopies, administrative centers will use formal species, new urban areas will favor fast-growing shade trees, and industrial zones will utilize species that filter dust and noise. Developers are also mandated to minimize the cutting or relocation of existing trees during construction. In implementation, Implementation has moved into active pruning and replacement phases.

Other areas may see the introduction of Sấu, Bằng lăng, or decorative lower-level plants. fragrant plants like Nguyệt quế to establish distinct identities for various residential and cultural zones.
