Apartment projects mushrooming in Hanoi
While no new major roads have been opened in Hanoi over the last few years, apartment projects, collectively comprising several thousand apartments, have proliferated in the Vietnamese capital. Hundreds of new apartment projects and high-rise buildings, both on stream and under-construction, can be found along such streets as Belt Road No. 3, Le Van Luong, Hoang Minh Giam and Nguyen Trai in Ha Dong District. At the Trung Hoa-Nhan Chinh Urban Area, currently considered the capital’s fastest-growing construction development spot, new buildings are being constructed at lightning speed and with high density. This only puts more pressure on the already overloaded traffic system surrounding the area.
