Hanoi is the capital of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam. It is also the political, economic and cultural center of the Red River Delta area and Viet Nam. Hanoi City is the first large urban center in Vietnam to adopt the Green Corridor model as part of the master plan approved in 2011, which is somewhat similar to the green belt model widely adopted in urban areas in the world. The green corridor for Hanoi includes “rural areas, systems of rivers, lakes, hills, natural forests, farming areas … strictly protected to provide logistics support for urban development, landscape protection and healthy urban environment”. The green corridor for Hanoi includes the entire suburban areas, which play a role in controlling the sprawling development of the central urban hub and occupy nearly 70% of the city’s land area. This solution also causes a lot of controversy on how the concept should be interpreted as the structural planning does not reflect natural conditions and there remain difficulties in the management of such a plan in practice. Using field surveys, graphic presentation and literature review, the article identified existing problems in development of a Green Corridor plan for Hanoi. Based on these problems, the article presented the concept, planning structural model and some solutions for management of the urban green corridor for Hanoi.
