  2. Introduction The paper introduces pedestrian area in existance around The World and sugests some key principles, methodologies to design and develop Pedestrian Streets in Hanoi Centre and other cities of Vietnam, thus having them adaptable to such Vietnamese conditions as people's low living standard, sunny hot climate, numerous motobikes and underdeveloped public transport.

  3. The role of pedestrian space in city Pedestrian ways are an essential element of urban openspace.

  15. In the year of 2000, a short alley (less than 200m) which is wellknown with Vietnamese speciality restaurants was proposed to reform to Pedestrian Wayin the old quarter. • Though there were some changes such as removed pavment and textured with new cube bricks, furnituring a big wellcome gate, lights and signs...etc, but so worry, it isn’t a real pedestrian space allthough motobicle’s driving is not allowed there.

  19. Pilot Project: Designing pedestrian way in Hang Buom street investigated by Project Management Board of Hoan Kiem District and valued 2433 million Vnd. (162,000 USD). This project received many arguments against from the citizens and hasn't been realized since 2000. • Hanoi is going to commemorate the city's 1000th anniversary in 2010.
