With rapid urbanization and growing population, Hanoi is under pressure to address social issues, especially those related to environment and traffic, said the Hanoi Party chief.

In the coming time, Hanoi would step up building a network of transport infrastructure to boost connectivity within the city and with other localities.

Hanoi currently has 38 urban infrastructure projects, 17 of them would be completed this year, while the remaining projects are under evaluation and calling for investment.

Building urban infrastructure towards green growth is a necessary goal in the urbanization process, in order to adapt to climate change.
