Hanoi is addressing significant challenges regarding vehicle parking and urban infrastructure. In late September 2026, officials and experts convened a workshop to discuss the critical shortage of parking land, noting that current allocations are below 1% despite a projected 9.2 million motor vehicles by late 2025. Discussions focused on transitioning toward smart transport-energy service centers to support national Net Zero 2050 goals by integrating electric vehicle (EV) charging stations into parking infrastructure. Experts noted that existing facilities meet only 8-10% of total demand, necessitating long-term planning for power grid upgrades and fire safety to manage high electrical loads from fast-charging. By mid-October 2026, the Hanoi People's Committee implemented Decision No. 5794/QD-UBND, establishing a new pricing structure for parking services on public roads and sidewalks funded by the state budget. Effective October 15, the updated rates apply to bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles, with per-turn fees expected to increase by an average of 1.75 to 2 times. In the central urban core, covering 12 specific streets including Tran Hung Dao, Ly Thuong Kiet, Hai Ba Trung, and Dinh Le, hourly parking fees for cars with fewer than 9 seats have risen to 50,000 VND per 60 minutes. Monthly contracts in these central areas have also seen significant increases, with rates for cars rising from 4 million VND to 6 million VND per month. Experts Experts, including Dr. Dinh Thi Thanh Binh from the University of Transport and Communications, suggest these adjustments serve as an economic tool to manage demand for private car travel in central districts. The Hanoi Department of Construction clarified that these state-funded price adjustments do not automatically apply to private parking lots in apartment complexes, shopping centers, hospitals, or schools; pricing for those facilities remains subject to the Law on Prices districts and specific management models. encourage changes in transportation behavior.
