Hanoi announces the transport planning for 2030
Hanoi People`s Committee recentlty held a ceremony to reveal its transport planning for 2030 with a vision towards 2050.
Attending the ceremony were Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung, former Secretary of Hanoi Party Committee Pham Quang Nghi and Chairman of the municipal People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung.
The blueprint has been made in detail to develop Hanoi's traffic system with 4 types of road, rail, waterway and air.
When put into practice, the planning will help Hanoi enhancing to connect with the Red River Delta, the northern region, while focusing on developing internal networks to meet transportation demand of local residents.
Speaking at the ceremony, Director of the municipal Department of Transport Vu Van Nen said that the planning targets sustainability, comprehensiveness and modernity of the municipal transport system as part of the capital development master plan to 2050.
Addressing the event, Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Trinh Dinh Dung said that the Government supports Hanoi’s efforts and will create the best possible mechanisms for the city to develop.
Planning is a scientific process, the Deputy PM stated, underlining the need to set forth specific mechanisms, policies and reforms to put planning into place, along with creating optimal conditions for investors, businesses and economic sectors to engage in the city’s transport projects.
He also stressed that in the immediate future, the government improves the capital structure to implement the master plan as well the management of investment and construction.
Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung described the planning as an important legal foundation for the management of projects to serve development of the Hanoi capital.
It pairs Hanoi’s transport development with the growth of the Hanoi Capital Metropolitan area, the Red River Delta and the northern key economic zone, while ensuring the unity of the national transport development strategy, he added.
Under the planning, public transport is expected to make up 35 percent of Hanoi’s total transportation market share in 2020, rising from 12 percent at present.
Public transport is seen as a solution to traffic jams in the capital as it can address the large population and weak infrastructure.
According to the planning, Hanoi aims to reduce up to 10 congestion hotspots and limit the duration of traffic jams to less than 30 minutes.
Figures from the city show that about 20,000 motorbikes and 8,000 cars are newly registered every month.
It is estimated Hanoi capital will have about one million cars and seven million motorbikes by 2020.
Traffic infrastructure remains inadequate, making traffic congestion a major problem, especially in the inner city.
