Hanoi to report on planning the Red river’s riparian areas: Party official
The Hanoitimes - Solving the drainage problem in the development of the riparian areas has been the reason the land along the Red river remains unplanned. Hanoi will report to the central government on the planning of the riparian areas on both sides of the Red river, ensuring that no land in Hanoi is left without being planned, Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Vuong Dinh Hue said at the recent meeting with voters in Dan Phuong district.

Dang also asked Hanoi’s authorities to keep constructing Huu Hong (the right side of the Red river) dike section from Hong Ha commune to the end of Dan Phuong district. In 2017, Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung required some investors to devise planning schemes to develop the areas along the Red river which ensure the city’s flood-resistant capability and create a modern urban area along the river. Hanoi's authorities requested the planning to be divided into two phases, with the first one covering the areas on the banks of the …
