Hanoi's transformation begins

The capital city of Vietnam, Hanoi, is undergoing a major transformation aimed at turning itself into a global metropolis, involving extensive construction using bulldozers and cranes. This effort is part of a broader strategy to modernize the city and improve its infrastructure.

Economic growth expected

Vietnam is anticipating double-digit economic growth following an 8% increase in 2025, with the country experiencing growing momentum. This positive economic outlook is seen as a driving force behind the ambitious development projects in Hanoi.

Long-term urban plan launched

A century-long urban development plan has been launched, which includes the construction of bridges, subways, and new cities. This comprehensive plan is designed to support the country’s long-term growth and improve the quality of life for its citizens.

Changing landscapes and lifestyles

This large-scale development is significantly altering landscapes and lifestyles, with some residents being forced to leave neighborhoods where their families have lived for several generations. The changes are creating both opportunities and challenges for the city’s residents.
