At the conference, Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Cuong, Vice President of the National Economics University reported that from June 1, immediately after the city decided to recognize the consulting unit, the consortium took the first step and completed it after 1 month by organizing 7 seminars with leading experts and scientists to collect ideas for developing industries, fields and allocating space.
On behalf of the consulting units, Prof. Dr. Hoang Van Cuong quickly reported some key ideas in the planning of the Capital, in which, the characteristics of Hanoi are still determined to be "Cultured - Civilized - Modern", "Green - Smart - Prosperous" and a globally connected city.
The development orientation of economic sectors identifies the service economy as the driving force, in which urban services are the main source. Hanoi is oriented to be the center of aviation logistics and goods distribution in the Northern region. Culture, heritage, tourism and entertainment services must become the main resources for development.
The representative of the consulting consortium also presented ideas on the tasks of preserving the old quarter and French architecture; renovating and embellishing old quarters and old apartment buildings; developing radial urban axes connecting with satellite cities and regional centers; planning railway traffic; planning urban road traffic; planning service spaces on both sides of the Red River; planning cultural heritage roads; planning the exploitation of historical cultural heritages under the PPP mechanism; planning a science city, a tourist - cultural city and a city attracting elites, and proposing a number of specific mechanisms and policies to implement the Plan.
Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Dinh Thien, member of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Group and former Director of the Vietnam Economic Institute, emphasized that Hanoi is facing an "unusual" opportunity when establishing and adjusting both the Capital Planning, the Hanoi Capital Master Plan and completing the Capital Law (amended) at the same time. The workshop organized by the City People's Committee today demonstrated the city's determination not to miss the opportunity to orient the development of the Capital in the new era with the mission of creating a model and leading the whole country.
Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Dinh Thien noted that in order to establish a proper planning for the capital city of Hanoi, it is necessary to assess the advantages and distinct potentials so that they can be transformed into Hanoi's strengths. Next, it is necessary to clearly identify and analyze how the trends of the times are affecting Hanoi as the capital leading the development of the whole country, representing the country in developing into a leading competitive urban area, and clearly defining the mission, role, and function of Hanoi for the country, developing at the national level.
