Hanoians can look forwards to more public spaces which will be built as part of the efforts to make Hanoi’s environment greener and more sustainable.

The number of domestic visitors to Hanoi reached 300,000 in November after a long hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Next year, districts will be responsible for managing parks and trees, and the HCM City People’s Committee will invite competitive bids from the districts to explain how they'd maintain green spaces.

Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung has asked the Hanoi People’s Committee to revise its construction plan and build more parks and parking areas to serve people.

Many Hanoians are enjoying the “luxury” of exercising on gym equipment for free after the city installed these in several public places including parks and gardens.
