As Hanoi focuses on developing new urban areas to accommodate a growing population, Dong Anh has become a target for significant investment in infrastructure and services.

All five southern districts are located along major transportation routes and are subject to residential development.

As one of the core in the capital city's planning, Hanoi will expand more and more urban spaces.

The move is seen as a viable solution to enhance drainage capacity and reduce inundation in the city.

The plan is for urban areas to become the driving force while rural areas serve as the foundation for sustainable development.
