Hanoi: Culture, Key to Growth in the New Era

In the process of Hanoi’s development, culture is gradually confirming its role as a spiritual foundation, an endogenous resource, and a major driver of growth.

A Concert called “Peaceful Hanoi” attracted thousands of spectators to renowned artists. From community art spaces to large international events, the capital is creating a dynamic ecosystem of cultural industries, shaping the image of a creative and integrated city in the new era.

Hanoi is also developing events that promote a creative ecosystem. The 2026 Hanoi Creative Design Festival focuses on the “creative economy,” connecting different areas such as design, technology, education, and entrepreneurship. This festival creates an interactive and multidimensional space that attracts a wide community of creators and young people.

The challenge lies in recognizing culture as a regulator and a “soft force”. For Hanoi, every infrastructure or development project must now place human beings and cultural values at the center. Each bridge or building should reflect an aspect of the capital’s identity.

– “Placing culture at the center of sustainable development”

Hanoi aims to transform these potentials into concrete resources in 2026. By narrating its story through modern and accessible cultural products, Hanoi seeks not only to accelerate its development but also to progress more sustainably on the path of integration, thus affirming its position as a regional and global cultural and creative center.
