Smart AGRO Urbanism

The Master Plan aims to develop the coastal city to become a smart and self–sustainable Agro–Townships to support growth in food security and high–tech agriculture production industries.

PLANNING APPROACH

The coastal city consists mainly of agricultural land with minimal industry. It is surrounded with major tourist destinations and cities that are rapidly urbanising. The town is in crucial need of long–term Master Plan as current industry and land use is inefficient while it has ample develop-able land that can accommodate neighbouring urbanisation.

Before the planning approach, we raise the question of the city’s future position in the area. As the town is situated in between prominent cities and tourist destinations, it needs a distinct identity as a self–sustaining city that can support neighbouring cities.

Agriculture sector has great significance in the national economy of Vietnam. Central Vietnam is leading contributor to the agricultural sector. The Coastal City has many prospects in terms of high–tech agriculture and food processing. Our approach has three pillars that connects to the concept of “Smart Agro–Urbanism” Self–sustainable agro–city that supports surrounding cities and has a unique local environment with vibrant culture and people.
