6. Orientations for the regions spati development:
a/ Major orientations for development of the capital region:
- The Hanoi capital region will develop into a multi-polar concentrated urban region with spatial links between Hanoi city (the core urban area at the center and its adjacent areas) and surrounding provinces (the counterbalance development area), with provincial capital cities being the cores of the counterbalance development area. The regions development orientations are to promote the socio-economic development of provincial capital cities in order to bring into play their role and potential, through developing their technical and social infrastructure systems, and reduce the overload pressure on Hanoi city.
- The core urban area: Hanoi capital will play a leading role in the region, accommodating largely political, administrative, cultural, commercial, financial, service and hi-tech centers, research institutes and a tourist center of the whole region and the country.
- Hanoi adjacent areas are areas around the present Hanoi city.
- Areas of rapid urbanization cover industrial-service urban centers to be developed to the east and tourist-training-hi-tech urban centers to be developed to the west of the region, forming east-west economic-urban counterbalance spatial axes.
- Areas of dynamic economic, industrial and service development along concentrated along the economic axis linking the core urban area of Hanoi city with Hai Phong and Ha Long cities, with Hai Duong city to play the role as a regional urban center in which light industries and high technologies will be developed to support the development of processing industries in plain areas to the south-southeast of the Red River delta.
- Provincial capital cities will develop in scope and quality through investing in the construction of their social-technical infrastructure associated with surrounding industrial-service areas in order to better attract resources for urban development. To develop inter-urban traffic systems connected to the core urban area in order to create a major development framework for the counterbalance area. To select big urban areas to be developed into regional centers, including Hai Phong, Hoa Binh and Vinh Yen cities, and pay special attention to developing Hai Duong city into a major urban area in the future.
- To develop medium- and small-sized urban areas associated with agricultural zones into industrial, cottage industry and rural service centers, creating jobs for local laborers.
- To protect natural areas (free from urban construction and development), including: low and trough areas in river basins, flood-diverging areas, dikes, areas in which construction is limited, areas of beautiful landscape, national cultural and historical relics in the Hanoi region and main agricultural sub-zones of the provinces in the region.
- To study the expansion of the boundaries of Hanoi capital to have more land areas for the development of national key projects, including: the National Administrative Center; new urban centers: and service, tourist, research, training and hi-tech centers into which industrial zones and polluting works from Hanoi city will be relocated.
b/ Organization of the development space of the Hanoi capital region:
The space of the capital region is divided into two sub-regions:
The core urban area and adjacent areas. Tne counterbalance development area.
- The core urban area and adjacent areas: For the core urban area being expanded Hanoi capital, to select appropriate models of economic development, control population growth and land use. and form major national commercial and financial centers, hi-tech research and training institutions and cultural centers. In the comins period, to promote development in areas with potential to be merged into the capital through developing a number of urban, tourist, research and training, and hi-tech centers, limiting large-scale industrial concentration and controlling environmental protection.
Adjacent areas of 25 to 30 km wide will have the function of supporting the development and expansion of the core urban area, play the role of development interaction and pervasion between Hanoi capital and surrounding provinces. These areas will function as green belts to supply farm produce and foodstuffs for the capital. At the same time, small and cottage industries, traditional craft villages, and cultural and ecological tourism will be developed in these areas.
- The counterbalance development area of 30 to 60 km wide will be formed from three smaller areas having provincial capitals as their development cores.

e/ Orientations for wastewater drainage and environmental sanitation:
The wastewater drainage system of the Hanoi capital region will be divided into two main zone: zone 1: the core city or expanded Hanoi capital; zone 2: counterbalance urban area.
For these urban areas, wastewater drainage systems must be built separately from rainwater drainage systems for sectional drainage for each urban area. To build wastewater treatment facilities and plants for provincial cities. For rural areas and residential areas: To build water drainage systems to collect both wastewater and rainwater. For villages and hamlets: wastewater drainage systems will be built by households themselves to suit their conditions and ensure hygiene and not to affect surrounding water sources.
Wastewater must be treated to reach Vietnamese hygiene standards before being discharged into the environment. The level of wastewater treatment will depend on where it is discharged (according to Vietnam standards). Wastewater of industrial parks, local industrial zones and hospitals in these areas must also be treated to reach Vietnam standards before being discharged into the environment.
- Water drainage and wastewater drainage:
+ To build separate wastewater drainage systems for expanded and newly built areas, industrial or tourist areas of cities and provincial capitals. Semi-common sewer systems will be used for old urban areas, in which common sewer systems already exist, and district townships. To build common water drainage systems for commune centers and rural residential areas.
+ For urban areas (especially Hanoi capital), the whole volume of (daily-life, industrial and hospital) wastewater must be treated to reach hygiene standard limit A or B (depending on receiving sources and positions where wastewater is discharged according to Vietnam standards TCVN 7222 - 2002 and 5945 - 2005) before being discharged into the environment.
To treat water to reach standard limit A, for water of rivers within the water source protection areas, including Da, Hong (Red). Day. Lo. Luoc, Thai Binh and Cau rivers.
To treat water to reach standard limit B, for water of other rivers and lakes in the region (but not to be supplied for daily-life use).
+ For rural areas: To make the fullest use of water of existing rivers and lakes and build bio-reservoirs for wastewater treatment by the method of biological self-cleaning.
- Solid waste
The syestem for treatment of solid waste of the Hanoi capital region is divided into:
Regional (inter-provincial) solid waste treatment facilities:
A treatment facility will be built in Soc Son disirict of Hanoi city on an area of around 140 -160 hectares to treat with modern treatment technologies industrial solid waste for the Hanoi region and treat daily-life solid waste for Hanoi city and Soc Son district.
A treatment facility will be built in Luong Son district of Hoa Binh province and Chuong My district of Ha Tay province on an area of around 200 hectares to treat with modern treatment technologies daily-life solid waste for the western area of the Hanoi region and Hoa Binh and Ha Tay provinces.
- Provincial solid waste treatment facilities
In Vinh Phuc province: A facility will be built in Tam Dao district on an area of 100 hectares.
