Current Constraints and Future Directions for Risk Adapted Land-Use Planning Practices in the High-Density Asian Setting of Ho Chi Minh City
- The need to integrate adaptation efforts into land-use planning policies has been only recently recognised in Ho Chi Minh City, where only the very latest planning guidance addresses both flooding resilience and the mitigation of urban heat. This paper outlines the development contexts and the current barriers for adapted land-use planning within the city. The key challenge is how to affectively guide and influence the mainly individual developer driven urban development within a land-use planning system which aims to spatially and explicitly communicate the important functions and services of open and natural non built-up urban spaces. As the implementation of more spatially explicit non-structural adaptation measures is in strong contrast to the current market driven private and short-term developer interests, the main development trajectories are questioned and synergies identified.
