Key factors to accelerate Hanoi's urban rail project
Urban railways play a crucial role in transportation and socio-economic development by providing efficient, independent, and environmentally friendly commuting options. The Transit Oriented Development (TOD) model, which integrates urban rail with real estate projects, is crucial for urban restructuring. However, challenges such as funding, administrative processes, land clearance, and lack of well-arranged rules for TOD projects hinder urban railway development. To overcome these obstacles, it is recommended to delegate power to subordinate authorities, explore the TOD model to shorten construction periods, and develop general regulations for all urban railway lines.
