Abstract

Being the capital of Vietnam, a dynamic developing country, Hanoi is experiencing a rapid rate of urbanization and economic growth which leads to the continuing increase of construction and demolition activities. In the recent few decades, construction and demolition waste has been accounted for a large amount of solid waste in urban areas, among which demolition waste (DW) is the major content. This study aims to sketch the flow of DW post-demolition, as well as to provide an approach to predict the estimated DW generation in the future in Hanoi. Data of DW generation rate from previous study in Hanoi is combined with statistics of construction in the city to work out a reasonable model of projection of DW for further recommendations for managing this type of waste for sustainable development.
