The serious urban flooding in Yen Hoa Ward of Cau Giay District in Hanoi in the afternoon of May 29 after heavy rain.

Major cities should strictly observe planning to eliminate urban flooding

Hanoi endured two serious urban flooding times just in one week due to heavy rain. It is understandable that torrential rain normally creates temporary flooding, yet such a serious situation as that in Hanoi is attributed to over-urbanization. It is high time detailed planning was strictly observed to tackle the problem.

Hundreds of streets have been downgraded and damaged in HCMC and the city has spent much on repairing them but that is unable to solve the root of the issue because of no drainage systems.
