ANALYSIS

planting trees

In particular, the program of planting one million trees is aimed at making Hanoi greener. With determination and efforts of the municipal government’s and related units, the program’s targets have been achieved ahead of time Under the million-tree planting program, trees and flowers have been grown on the sidewalks across the city. The vegetation has significantly mitigated urban heat and contributed to improving the living environment of local residents

According to environmental experts, more trees in the capital not only refresh the air, but shade the streets, preventing sunlight, curbing the harmful effects of radiation on people, especially in hot days

public opinion on nature

To imagine the future of water distribution, we can learn from Hanoi, Vietnam, where water is distributed at low pressures and most buildings are equipped with a basement tank, a rooftop tank, and separate water treatment processes, resulting in a system that consumes less energy and that is more resilient
