Vietnam, France speed up cooperation in urban development
Within the framework of the 10th cooperation conference between Vietnamese and French localities, a seminar on urban planning was organised in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on September 15.
A seminar on urban planning took place in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on September 15 with the participation of experts from Vietnamese localities and Ile-de-France region of France.
As part of the 10th cooperation conference between Vietnamese and French localities, the seminar mentioned environmental problems in Hanoi, space planning and construction in Da Nang, urban and regional planning in Ho Chi Minh City, planning for sustainable development in Lao Cai and Aquitaine region.
The 10th cooperation conference between Vietnamese and French localities was held in the southern city of Can Tho from September 14-16.
The conference is expected to open up economic cooperation opportunities and raise understanding between the two countries, as well as between their cities and provinces.
The seminar was co-chaired by the Da Nang municipal People’s Committee and the Ile-de-France Region.
Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the Da Nang municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Ngoc Tuan said Vietnam-France cooperation in urban development will be accelerated in the near future for the sustainable development of their localities.
Via the Vietnam-France cooperation in urban development, their localities will share experience in coping with climate change and issues faced by urban areas.
A representative from the Institute for Urban Planning and Development of Paris Ile-de-France Region said environmental challenges faced by the Hanoi capital region also encompass natural and cultural heritages, agriculture and forest land management, pollution and flooding risks.
To protect architecture and urban planning in the Old Quarter, the Hanoi’s People’s Committee issued regulations on granting construction licences in the area.
Under the regulations, investors must submit documents to the Hoan Kiem’s People’s Committee. The documents are evaluated by specialised agencies for approval.
At the seminar, experts suggested zoning off “buffer spaces” and ecological corridors in urban areas, and building “green corridors” into natural parks.
