Objectives of the research: To clarify the scientific basis (both theoretical and practical basis) of proposed solutions to develop city logistics system within Hanoi in relation to the promotion of a stable and long-term economic development. | New economic environment, the expansion of international trade cooperation has led to the operation of the Vietnamese economic in general as well as in Hanoi became vibrant and bustling. To meet the amount of import and export goods are on the increase, in recent years, a number of LSP were launched. Although there are no official statistics, but today in Hanoi there are about 450-500 LSP operating in the logistics sector. There are tens of thousands of businesses in the city which are related to logistics field. Hanoi businesses are not only forwarders and shippers but also do all the work of storage, labeling, packaging and customs clearance. However, most LSP are small and software applications and information technology is not common, that lead to poor competitiveness. Therefore, LSP in Vietnam in general and Hanoi in particular is still largely act as "satellite" for foreign LSP, only to take on some stages in the chain of logistics activities such as customs procedures, rental vehicles, warehousing.
