South Korea provides green urban planning support
The Ministry of Construction (MoC) and the South Korea International Co-operation Agency (KOICA) held a workshop in Hanoi on Thursday to review implementation of the Green City Planning Decision Support System (GDSS) in Vietnam.
Workshop participants said this would be the foundation for building a legal framework and guidance document for green city planning in Vietnam.
They also discussed ways to improve project efficiency and expand it in the future.
The project’s bigger aims are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen climate change adaptation and initiate reasonable and effective use of natural resources.
The project will be piloted in urban areas in Hanoi and Thai Nguyen and Kien Giang provinces.
Vietnam faces various serious urban problems including inadequate infrastructure and environmental degradation as a result of rapid economic development and urban population growth.
