The Socialist Republic of Vietnam has received a Credit from the International Development Association (IDA) and a Grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) toward the costs of Hanoi Urban Transport Development Project, and intends to apply part of the proceeds of this Grant to payments under the contract for Integrated Sustainable Urban Land Development and Transport Planning under the said project.
The project would aim to increase mobility, safety, efficiency and sustainability of urban transport in Hanoi. The size of the IDA Credit is US$155.21 million. In addition, the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) co-financed up to US$9.8 million under the GEF Operational Program 11 (Promotion of Environmentally Sustainable Transport). The expected total costs of the project are approximately $452 million. The project includes three main components: the Bus Rapid Transit Component (BRT); the Road Infrastructure and Sustainable Urban Planning component and the Institutional Development Component.
The objective of this assignment is to develop and implement integrated and sustainable urban development and transport policies and plans for Hanoi City. This assignment will include studies that will support the Hanoi Department of Planning and Architecture to:
- review of existing planning regulations, institutional structures, standards and procedures and consider modifications that would result in facilitating urban growth that is more compatible with competitive public transport;
- review existing plans for the newly urbanizing areas, particularly west of West Lake and north of the Red River from the same perspective;
- conduct capacity building and training for officials dealing with urban development and transport planning; and
- case studies (feasibility studies, tax incentives, zoning exceptions) at particular locations that would make the recommendations of these reviews actionable.
- development of GIS technology.
The estimated duration of the entire assignment is 16 months.
