Hanoi aims to become a green, smart and modern city, as well as an important regional center for finance, commerce and innovation with gross regional domestic product (GRDP) expected to reach approximately $200 billion by 2035 as part of its 100-year master plan which has been approved by the municipal People’s Committee.
Under the master plan, the city targets per capita GRDP exceeding $18,800 by that year.
Then by 2045, the capital aspires to become one of the Asia-Pacific’s leading innovation hubs, before evolving into a global city with life quality and happiness among the world’s highest by 2065.
One of the plan’s most notable features is its emphasis on developing cultural industries and tourism into key economic sectors. Hanoi aims for cultural industries to contribute around 10% of GRDP by 2035, 12% by 2045 and 15–20% by 2065.
The capital’s population is projected to reach between 14–15 million by 2035, rising to 15–16 million by 2045 and 17–19 million by 2065, with the long-term figure capped at no more than 20 million.
The planning area spans around 3,359.84 sq.km. Hanoi borders Thai Nguyen province to the north, Phu Tho province to the north, the west and the north-west; Ninh Binh to the south and south-west; and Bac Ninh and Hung Yen to the east.
