On June 28, 2024, the 15th National Assembly passed the Capital Law (amended), which includes that the Capital Planning and the Capital Master Plan must ensure the construction of a civilized, modern, sustainable capital, environmental protection, and water security with the Red River: Creating opportunities for the development of Hanoi’s public spaces.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Capital Law allows the construction of works in accordance with the dike planning and other related planning<\/b><\/h2>\n

Article 17 of the Capital Law [1] “The remaining riverbank and floating areas are allowed to construct works for public spaces, works serving public purposes but do not elevate the riverbank and floating areas to ensure the requirement of not obstructing the flow”. Related to the implementation of this content are the Natural Disaster Prevention and Irrigation Planning, Flood Prevention and Control Planning, and Dike Management Planning of the Red River, Thai Binh River, and Day River systems approved by the Prime Minister. \u201cPlanning for the Red River Delta region in the period of 2021 \u2013 2030, vision to 2050\u201d [2] \u201cPlanning for the Red River Delta region in the period of 2021 \u2013 2030, vision to 2050\u201d [3]<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure the flow of water, proposals for construction works that obstruct the flow must be abandoned, as listed in Clause 3, Article 32 of the Law on the Capital \u201cThe Hanoi People’s Committee decides: Methods of usage and exploitation of agricultural land funds on river banks and floating areas on diked rivers for agricultural production, ecological agricultural production combined with sightseeing, experiential education, and experiential tourism must ensure the principle that construction on agricultural land on river banks and floating areas on diked rivers must be consistent with the flood prevention and control planning of diked rivers, dike planning, and construction planning approved by competent authorities;\u201d. Interpreting these regulations according to the laws of physics: The impact of objects on the flow of water, the spaces and works serving public purposes here are understood to only maintain the current elevation, not to raise or level, but only to create flat surfaces, or small architectural details, with a thin degree, not creating volumes of any size to ensure the flow is drained. The regulations of the Capital Law also eliminate the contents contrary to the dike planning and the Capital Law in the draft Regulations on the management of Hanoi City architecture. \u201c\u2026 On the left bank of the Red River, in addition to the existing low-rise residential areas, they are developed into urban functional areas with diverse types of housing from low-rise to high-rise, creating highlights for the entire landscape space of the Red River and the urban river parks on both banks of the Red River and the middle sandbank\u201d [4]<\/span><\/p>\n

Where to build new dikes and residential areas to balance the interests of Land – Water in a sustainable and long-term manner?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Article 17 of the Capital Law stated: \u201cAllow the construction of new dikes along the flood escape corridor to effectively exploit the construction land fund. In the flood escape corridor area, a number of existing residential areas are allowed to exist and new construction is allowed at an appropriate rate according to the approved flood prevention and control plan\u201d. The Capital Law directs the establishment of the Capital Master Plan, so that the Red River becomes \u201ca green axis, a central landscape, and harmonious urban development on both sides of the river of the City\u201d, the prerequisite is to ensure that the Red River has enough space for water to flow and the water must be clean. This task is defined in the \u201cPlanning for the Red River Delta for the period 2021 – 2030, vision to 2050\u201d with the following content: \u201cConstructing works to raise the water level on the Red River downstream of Xuan Quan sluice, Duong River downstream of Long Tuu sluice to respond to the decline in water levels on the river system; providing favorable water sources for the Bac Hung Hai system and the Day, Nhue, and Ngu Huyen Khe rivers, combined with wastewater treatment solutions to revive inland rivers such as the To Lich, Nhue, Day, Ngu Huyen Khe, Chau Giang, and Bac Hung Hai rivers. Implementing the plan to supplement water from the main stream of the Da River to the Tich and Day rivers\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the morning of June 20, 2024, the National Assembly discussed the Capital Planning and adjusting the General Planning of the Hanoi Capital. Speaking at the meeting, delegate Hoang Van Cuong said that he was a participant in the planning process, and the role of the Red River in the Capital Planning will incorporate three tasks: (1) Saving 5 billion m3 of clean water for daily life and production; (2) washing away wastewater, cleaning up dry and polluted rivers; (3) creating landscapes to build two heritage roads on both sides of the river. [5]<\/span><\/p>\n

Retaining 5 billion m3 of water discharged from a hydroelectric reservoir in a very short time requires a very large water storage space, if stored in 1,000 km2, the water column will be 5m high, while the total area in the dike on both sides of the 29 km of the Da River and 129 km of the Red River flowing through Hanoi has an area of \u200b\u200b400 km2. When Xuan Quang and Long Tuu dams are formed, the 400km2 of river and the land area within the two dykes can store 2 billion m3 of clean water, helping to wash away polluted water but will submerge the road and construction works in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new road and new dyke located at the location of the existing dyke is a beneficial activity that has been permitted by the 2006 Law on Dikes: \u201cEncourage and create conditions for domestic and foreign organizations and individuals to invest in research, application of advanced science and technology combined with traditional measures in the construction, repair, upgrading, solidification, protection of dykes and towards proactive solutions in flood prevention and control planning. Encourage organizations and individuals to invest in the construction, repair, upgrading, solidification and protection of dykes combined with socio-economic development; protect the legitimate interests of organizations and individuals participating in investment in this field\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The safe and long-term settlement of 0.3 million people outside the Red River dike has been a big challenge for many years because the land in the fields has been densely populated with old villages and rice fields, but now it has been resolved: The planning of the new city North of the Red River has reduced agricultural land, increased residential land to accommodate an additional 1.6 million people (from 1.3 million people in 2024 to 2.9 million people in 2045). The new urban space in the fields can accommodate 5 times more people than the population outside the Red River bank, 1.6 million\/0.3 million people). With the strategy of building spillways, taking clean water from the Red River, storing it in the riverbed and spilling it into 600km2 of the basins of small rivers, canals, lakes, ponds, low-lying fields… creating an ecological water city, increasing the quality of life, real estate value, as well as developing modern agriculture and aquaculture, creating public spaces, unique landscape architecture to enrich residents in the fields and on the beach, and for our capital.<\/span><\/p>\n
