The thousand-year development of Thang Long ­ Hanoi capital has created an urban architectural heritage treasure covering four main components :
1. The Hanoi ancient citadel still remains with several standing monuments such as foundation of Kinh Thien palace, Doan Mon gate, Southern gate, Flag Tower, etc.
2. The Old Quarter ­ or « 36 ancient streets » - reveals the memories of Hanoi traditional handicraft proffesions, such as : streets of Hang Bac (street of goldsmiths), Hang Giay (street of paper producers), Thuoc Bac (street of medicine proccesing),...
3. European quarter (Gothic style) characterized by planned boulevards with huge public architectures on sides, like theatre, tribunal, museum, schoolhouse...
4. Religious works including pagodas, temples, churches, etc integrated to sightseeing spots.
Additionally, after Ha Tay province was annexed to Hanoi, the amount of historical monuments and traditional villages has been consirably increased.
It is essential to comprehensively acknowledge the values of the above mentioned heritages, which will bring about the harmonization of planning for urban development and planning for preservation of historical and cultural values in future.
