b/ Land use structure

- By 2020: estimated at around 229.000. including 99.300 permanent residents.

4. Land use planning:

a/ Division of functional zones

Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park comprises an education and training zone, a software zone, a research and development zone, a hi-tech industrial zone, a

5. Spatial development planning: a/ Spatial arrangement

The above functional zones are spatially arranged and organized as follows:

- The 76-ha software zone on the peninsula on Tan Xa lake will accommodate software producers and traders:

- The 229-ha research and development zone, above the hi-tech industrial zone and surrounding the software zone, will accommodate hi-tech research, development and application establishments and establishments to train specialists for hi-tech industries;

- The 549.5-ha hi-tech industrial zone, south of Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park along the two sides of Lang-Hoa Lac expressway, will accommodate hi-tech product plants. It will have a bonded warehouse system for import-export activities:

- Land for greeneries will cover 42 ha, including strips of trees separating the park from Lang-Hoa Lac expressway and national highway 21 and along roads inside the Hi-Tech Park.

b/ Design of architectural view

- The entire Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park will have a main spatial axis (main entrance) in the north-south direction from Lang-Hoa Lac expressway and two secondary axes in the east-west direction (sub-entrance on national highway 21);

- In addition, there will be feeder roads in parallel with the above two main roads. These feeder roads will link the central zone with other functional zones and intersect with collection roads or roads around Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park;

- Architectural works in the central zone will be designed modernly in conformity with natural terrains. In this zone, high rises may be designed to create prominent points for the entire-Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park:

- The research and development zone, the education and training zone, the service complex, the software zone and the residential building area each may study and build high rises whose maximum storey height, however, must not exceed that of the central zone.

6. Technical infrastructure planning:

a/ Transport

- Roads

+ Lang-Hoa Lac expressway is an important route running through Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park, linking national highway 1A and Ho Chi Minh highway (national highway 21);

The Management Board of Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park may manage 60 m of Lang-Hoa Lac expressway's road boundary section running through Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park. When road expansion is required, the Management Board of Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park shall hand over the section to the management agency.

+ Roads linking Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park with national highway 21 and the eastern beltway.

+ Internal (feeder) roads linking functional zones of the Hi-tech Park will have a cross-section of 11-50m.

- Railway

The to-be-built internal railway connected with the Hanoi-Hoa Lac urban railway (route UMRT 3) will be an effective means to transport passengers between Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park and Hanoi. The route will promote urban development along Lang-Hoa Lac expressway.

- Waterway

Son Tay port about 20 km away from Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park, which belongs to an important waterway of the Red Riser delta, will be a regional-level port serving the entire western region of Hanoi, including Son Tay. Hoa Lac and Xuan Mai.

b/ Technical preparations:

- Ground leveling

To maintain natural terrains, to level ground areas partially, to organize ground areas at different heights, which will be connected and protected by a system of tunnels or walls.

The eastern and southeastern low-lying area will have a foundation level limited at > + 10m for civil works and offices and > +11m for industrial works.

To retain the height levels of existing roads already built in phase I.

- Water drainage

+ To have a separate rainwater drainage system. To make full use of operating systems of sewers built in phase I;

+ To divide the entire Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park into 6 main rainwater drainage areas, with the main flow for drainage toward Tich river to the east:

Ÿ Four basins north of Lang-Hoa Lac expressway, namely Tan Xa reservoir. Dua Gai stream. Vuc Giang canal and a newly built reservoir.

Ÿ Two basins south of Lang-Hoa Lac expressway flowing toward streams inside Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park.

- Other technical preparations:

+ To embank Tan Xa and other small reservoirs. To embank Tan Xa reservoir at three levels (to be studied under a separate project);

+To replace the eastern spillway with a B3,000 x 3.000 box culvert suitable to the research for this period.
