Vietnam advances digital construction planning and urban data

Planning considerations

Read plans alongside their geographic scope, timescale, land use, population and public services. Strategic visions become projects through detailed planning, approval and construction procedures.

Infrastructure connections

Transport, water supply, drainage, energy, environmental services and public facilities determine feasibility. System capacity and investment sequencing are central to the quality of urban development.

Interregional development requires coordination of functions and transport between centres, peripheral areas and neighbouring districts.

Implementation and renewal

Urban renewal involves existing buildings, public spaces, community services and historic settings as well as demolition and rebuilding. Design must respond to current conditions and users' needs.
