2) Street greenery (green trees, lawns planted within the
red line): All roads of sub-regional or higher grade must have street
greeneries.
...
...
...
Please sign up or sign in to your Pro Membership to see English documents.
2.6.2. Requirements on urban greenery system planning

planted with trees and tree-strips to form a continuous green system. Lakeside
land, land along canals and all spaces must be used as much as possible for
greenery.
- Tree planting must not affect traffic safety, damage house
foundations or underground works, or cause danger (not to plant trees easy to
break or fall) or affect environmental sanitation (not to plant trees
discharging toxic and harmful substances or insect attractants, etc.).
2.6.3. Regulations on the area of public-use greenery land
in urban areas
- Public-use greenery land outside residential units in
urban areas embraces parks, flower gardens serving one or more residential
unit, the whole urban area or region (including theme parks); water surface
area within premises of parks and flower gardens, of which water surface area
converted into greenery land area per person must not exceed 50% of total area
of public-use greenery land outside residential unit, excluding special-purpose
greeneries.

areas.
- The width of an isolation strip must ensure the minimum
distance according to Vietnam environmental standard.
- In a sanitation isolation strip, at least 50% of land area

industry zones must be planned to suit industrial development potential, socio-economic
development master plan and relevant development strategies of each urban area.
- Land for warehouses serving urban areas: Non-hazardous
warehouse zones for urban areas may be located within civil zones. Warehouse
zones which are likely to discharge hazardous wastes must be located in
industrial zones or clusters or independently, ensuring isolation and waste
treatment conditions to meet environmental management requirements.
- The planning on the use of land in industrial or
small-cottage industry zones must satisfy the requirements on functions of
industrial zones. The ratios of land of various categories in an industrial
zone depend on the location of the industrial zone, the area module of land
lots for construction of factories or warehouses, which must comply with

Works’ planning disposition should be studied on the basis
of analyzing micro-climatic conditions of the designed land zone to select
optimal solutions to limit sunlight and wind directions’ adverse impacts on
works’ micro-climatic conditions, minimizing energy use for the purpose of
cooling or warming works.
2.8.4. Minimum distances between terraces
Minimum distances between separate construction works or
adjoining houses (collectively referred to as terraces) in new construction
planning areas are prescribed as follows:
- The distance between the long sides of two terraces <
46m high must be ≥ 1/2 of the work’s height (≥ 1/2h) and must not be < 7m.
For works of ≥ 46m high, this distance must be ≥ 25m;
- The distance between the two gables of two terraces <
46m high must be ≥ 1/3 of the work’s height (≥ 1/3h) and must not be < 4m.
For works ≥ 46m high, this distance must be ≥ 15m;
- For terraces including works’ bases and top towers,
regulations on the minimum distance to the opposite terrace apply separately to
works’ bases and top towers depending on corresponding building stories,
counting from the ground surface (pavement level);
- If in a terrace, the length of the long side and that of
the gable is equal, the front adjacent to the road which is the largest one
among those adjacent to that land lot is regarded the long side of the house.
2.8.5. Building set-back
Building set-back against the planned road’s building-line
depends on the organization of architectural spatial planning, work height and
building-line width, but the minimum set-back must satisfy the requirements in
Table 2.5.

2) Educational, healthcare and cultural works and markets:
The maximum net building density of such public works as
educational, healthcare, cultural and physical training and sport works and
markets in newly built areas is 40%.
3) Other urban service works and works with combined
functions:
The maximum net building density of other urban service
works and works with combined functions which are built on a land lot of e”3,000
m2 should be considered depending on their locations in urban areas and
specific planning solutions for such land lot and be approved by competent authorities.
However, this density must satisfy the requirements on the minimum distance
between terraces (Section 2.8.4) and the building set-back (Section 2.8.5) and
ensure the area of parking lots as prescribed, and comply with the requirements
specified in Table 2.7b.
For other urban service works and works with combined
functions which are built on a land lot of <3,000 m2, after excluding the
land area for the building set-back specified at Section 2.8.5, the building
density of 100% may apply to the remaining land area, ensuring the requirements
on the minimum distance between terraces (Section 2.8.4) and the area of
parking lots as prescribed.

4) For land lots of area ranging between the values
specified in Table 2.6, 2.7a or 2.7b, the maximum net building density is
determined according to the following interpolate formula:
Mi = Ma - (Si - Sa) x (Ma - Mb): (Sb
- Sa)
Of which:
Si: the area of land lot i (m2);
Sa: the area of land lot a (m2), which is equal to the lower
limit area against i in Table 2.6, 2.7a or 2.7b;
Sb: the area of land lot b (m2), which is equal to the upper
limit area against i in Table 2.6, 2.7a or 2.7b;
...
...
...
Please sign up or sign in to your Pro Membership to see English documents.
Ma: the permitted maximum net building density of the land
lot of an area of a (m2);
Mb: the permitted maximum net building density of the land
lot of an area of b (m2).
If a work complex comprises works of different heights, the
maximum building density applies depending on the average height.
5) For a work complex comprising works’ bases and top
towers, the regulations on the building set-back, the minimum distance to the opposite
terrace and the building density apply separately to works’ bases and top
towers according to corresponding building stories, counting from the ground
surface (pavement level).
Example: On a land lot of 10,000 m2, a work is a complex of
bases 16m high and top towers 46m high. For apartment buildings, the permitted
maximum building density is 65% for bases and 41% for top towers (calculated
based on the plan view of ground-surface works). For other urban service works
and works with combined functions, the permitted maximum building density for
bases and top towers is 70% and 46%, respectively.
2.8.7. Gross building density
- The permitted maximum gross building density of a
residential unit is 60%.
- The maximum gross building density of resorts is 25%.
- The maximum gross building density of public parks is 5%.
...
...
...
Please sign up or sign in to your Pro Membership to see English documents.
- The maximum gross building density of special-purpose
greeneries (including golf courses) and natural environmental protection
regions is specified depending on their functions and according to relevant
regulations, which, however, must not exceed 5%.
2.8.8. Ratio of land for greeneries in land lots for work
construction
In land lots for work construction, the requirements on the
minimum ratio of land for greeneries specified in Table 2.8 must be satisfied.
