The Ministry of Construction is requested to work with with the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, and relevant state agencies to appraise the proposal. 

DPM Dung also asked the Hanoi People's Committee to provide the Ministry of Construction with all the documents related to the contents proposed for adjustment.

Under the Prime Minister’s Decision No.1259/QD-TTg dated July 26, 2011, Hanoi will become a political, cultural, educational, and science-technology hub of the country, as well as a center for economics, tourism, trade, and services for the Asia-Pacific region.

The capital city will be developed based on a model of urban clusters, with onecore urban area and five satellite towns connected to it by ring roads. The city’s core is separated from the satellite towns by green corridors (accounting for 70% of the city's natural land area).

The central urban area will be expanded from downtown in four directions, namely, beyond  Belt Road 4 to the west and south, to Me Linh and Dong Anh districts in the north, and to Gia Lam and Long Bien districts in the east.

The five satellite towns, including Hoa Lac, Son Tay, Xuan Mai, Phu Xuyen, and Soc Son, are expected to reduce the burden for Hanoi’ core area in terms of housing, education, industry, service and so on.
