Hanoi Parking Lot Design Standards: A Comprehensive Guide

The story goes that a successful Hanoi entrepreneur, after years of navigating the business world, decided to invest in a luxury office building for lease on Nguyen Chi Thanh Street.

It turned out that the main reason was the cramped and inconvenient parking lot.
