The Hanoi People’s Committee has officially announced plans for the construction of the Red River Landscape Boulevard, a landmark urban development project with a preliminary investment estimated at approximately VND736.9 trillion (around $29 billion).
Spanning 11,418 hectares across 16 wards and communes, the project is scheduled for implementation from 2026 to 2038 and is envisioned as a major green corridor and long-term development driver for the Vietnamese capital.
Under Hanoi’s 100-year master plan, the Red River Landscape Boulevard has been designated as one of the city’s nine key strategic growth axes. The development is intended to serve as a central green spine while fostering economic, commercial, cultural, and urban expansion along both sides of the Red River.
Far beyond a conventional transport project, the initiative comprises five major sub-project groups. Central to the plan are two scenic boulevards running parallel to the river: the Huu Hong (Right Bank) route, extending approximately 45.35 kilometers, and the Ta Hong (Left Bank) route, spanning around 35 kilometers.
Complementing the transport infrastructure will be a vast network of riverside ecological parks. Several park clusters will cover hundreds of hectares, with the Trang Viet riverside park alone exceeding 1,100 hectares.
City authorities described the project as strategically important for Hanoi’s urban planning, environmental sustainability, and long-term development capacity, marking a major step toward building a modern, ecological, and sustainable urban corridor along the Red River.
