The satellite and ecological urban systems are separated by green corridors and green wedges, connected by a belt and radial transport system.

Spatial frame structure according to the ring and radial traffic axes

Connecting the central urban area, urban areas and satellite cities through belts (belt 1, belt 2, belt 2.5, belt 3, belt 3.5, belt 4, belt 5, Northwest expressway...).

Radial axes include National Highway 1A, National Highway 1B; National Highway 2; National Highway 3; National Highway 5; National Highway 6; National Highway 32; Ha Dong - Xuan Mai axis; Thang Long Boulevard; Tay Thang Long road axis; Ho Tay - Ba Vi road axis; Le Van Luong - To Huu - Nguyen Thanh Binh road; Southern economic axis; Nhat Tan - Noi Bai axis (Vo Nguyen Giap road...).

Five important spatial axes are oriented, including the Red River axis, combined with the Duong River, to be developed as the central green space of the central urban area, a creative cultural space, an economic and social development axis, and a symbolic highlight space of the capital Hanoi. The city will develop urban areas, ecological parks on both sides of the river, water management, exploitation of landscape values, river ports, and tourism on both sides of the river.
