Vietnam urban and regional development planning

Overview

Vietnam is advancing regional development and urban management strategies, specifically focusing on the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City metropolitan areas.

The Politburo issued Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW to reorganize national development space, prioritizing these two cities as primary growth poles. The resolution aims to resolve issues such as infrastructure bottlenecks and weak regional connectivity, with a long-term vision for 2045 to establish five international-scale cities operating under digital, green, and circular economy models.

In support of urban management, major cities have begun implementing new traffic schemes to mitigate congestion. In Hanoi, new intersection regulations have been introduced to restrict certain driving routes during peak hours. Similarly, Ho Chi Minh City has implemented time-based lane allocations on the Binh Loi 2 Bridge to separate motorcycles from passenger vehicles during high-traffic periods.
