Hanoi is investing $2.4 billion in 2026 for urban redevelopment projects, including flood controls and infrastructure upgrades, but residents like Nguyen Thi Nhan face displacement and unresolved compensation issues. The city’s $28 billion Red River redevelopment and a $35.2 billion Olympic sports area aim to modernize Hanoi, though risks include rising property prices and capital diversion from tech industries.
