In this area, in addition to drawing documents, explanations and opinion forms, there is also a QR code for people to view content and contribute ideas online from September 7 to the end of September 26.
The overall idea is to study organizing Hoan Kiem Lake space as a large square - a symbol of the Capital, combined with August Revolution Square and the Opera House to form a "History - Culture - Art" space.
Area north of Hoan Kiem Lake: It is expected to expand Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square, forming a large square, strengthening connection with Hoan Kiem Lake and the park - Eastern square. The research plan is to arrange the symbolic structure "Khai Hoan Mon", inspired by the hawk wings that are rising, creating a highlight to end the urban axis of the Old Quarter and opening up a new space axis to the South.
East of Hoan Kiem Lake area: Researching the formation of a system of squares and parks in the City People's Committee area, Ly Thai To Flower Garden, Hanoi Post Office and Hoa Phong Tower; reorganizing the space around Ba Kieu Temple; arranging monuments to Capital Martyrs; strengthening connection with the Dinh Le - Trang Tien area and suitable commercial and service spaces.
The park - square space in the East is researched to develop an underground space to enhance service and public space and connect with C9 station on urban railway line No. 2, creating a special cultural, service, and commercial TOD area.
For the headquarters area of the City People's Committee, the plan is to arrange a new 9-story above-ground building, 4 basements on the basis of restructuring the land area; study demolition of the headquarters of the People's Council, City People's Committee, Red Scarf Theater and the Children's Palace block; plan to retain three French architectural blocks including the Children's Hospital, Indochina Treasury and the Governor's Palace. The space is studied to be organized according to the North-South, East-West axes, connected to the park - square in the North and East, Ly Thai To Flower Garden and Hoan Kiem Lake.
For the Hanoi Post Office area, the plan to study the dismantling of some architectural works is not suitable; and at the same time, study solutions to evoke and recreate the image and architectural morphology characteristic of the old Bao An Pagoda in the central space within the Post Office campus.
Southeast area of Hoan Kiem Lake: Researching the organization of small commercial spaces combined with coffee and kiosks; emphasizing the Trang Tien axis connecting from Hoan Kiem Lake to the Opera House; organizing the Nguyen Khac Can - Trang Tien alley route into a pedestrian space; supplementing and expanding the access direction to the Dinh - Den - Vu Thach Pagoda relic complex from Hang Khay, Ba Trieu and Hai Ba Trung streets.
