The project is envisioned as a major green corridor and long-term development driver for the Vietnamese capital.

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.
