Vietnam - Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project

The objective of the Dynamic Cities Integrated Development Project for Vietnam is to increase access to urban infrastructure and to improve integrated urban planning in the Project Cities. There are two components to the project, the first component being structural investments - rehabilitation and construction of resilient urban infrastructure. This component includes four subcomponents: urban drainage, urban environmental sanitation, urban transport, and urban amenities and public spaces. Finally, the second component is the non-structural investments - technical assistance and implementation support. A comprehensive package of TA and project implementation support will be provided to the PPCs of the subproject cities to strengthen their capacities for integrated economic and spatial planning. Given the vulnerability of the subproject cities to disaster risks and climate change, a key emphasis will be to integrate climate change and disaster risk informed planning in each of the city’s strategic development plans and to strengthen the capacities of technical staff at the city and provincial levels to mainstream disaster and climate risk-mitigation in physical development and socio-economic planning.
