On my most recent visit to Hanoi, I started exploring some of the new urban areas. After putting it off for years, I’ve finally published a Future Hanoi page.
The “Future” pages I compile here are relatively straightforward. Most developments happen in the city centres, so I can knock out a list that covers the biggest projects.
The difficulty with Hanoi is that the major projects are outside the city centre. If you only stay in the ancient city you would be forgiven for thinking that nothing much is going on in Hanoi.
I had 10 days in Hanoi, which is the longest I’ve ever stayed in the 10+ times I’ve visited (I’ve lost count by now). On this trip, I split my time between the old city and the Westlake expat area. An expat bubble isn’t exactly the best way to get to know a city, but in this case, it gave me the advantage of being closer to some of the new urban areas I wanted to see.
This is my 2022 Hanoi trip report for Hanoi construction projects.
