Measuring The Invisible: Hanoi Case Study

An analysis of Hanoi's transport master plan indicates that emissions could have been stabilized at 2005 levels by 2020 through increased public transportation and stricter emission standards. Conversely, the study warns that failing to restrain individual vehicle growth, specifically the shift from two-wheelers to cars, would lead to significant increases in fuel use and severe urban congestion.

• Stabilizing emissions in 2020 at 2005 levels while maintaining mobility for residents is possible if the government promotes public transportation and mandates stricter vehicle emission and fuel quality standards.
• Fuel use and emissions are expected to grow significantly unless measures are implemented to limit the growth of overall vehicle traffic, especially individual vehicles.
• A transition from two-wheelers to cars is projected to cause a substantial increase in fuel consumption and create major congestion due to limited space within Hanoi.
