The Hoa Lac super satellite city will be some 30km from Hanoi’s centre.
The plan is part of the master plan of Hoa Lac Urban Area, compiled by themunicipal People’s Committee and recently submitted to themunicipal People’s Council for approval.
According to the plan, Hoa Lac will be the largest among five satellite citiesin Hanoi and scheduled to be home to over 600,000 residents by 2030,the Tien Phong (Vanguard) newspaper reported.
The nucleus of the satellite city is the Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park and the Vietnam NationalUniversity.
At present, the Vietnam National University has a number of schools located inthe inner districts of Hanoi. However, since 2003, the government had given thegreen light to relocate the schools to Hoa Lac Area by 2030 so that theuniversity could become the most modern one in Southeast Asia. The project hasbeen under construction.
