City Overview
Hue city is located in central Viet Nam on a coastal plain close to the Huong (Perfume) River estuary. It is the capital of Thua Thien Hue province; a UNESCO-listed heritage center; a major tourist destination; and a commercial and services center for the surrounding province. Hue is highly vulnerable to natural disasters and climate change, especially sea level rise, typhoons, storm surge and both sea and river flooding. This combination of factors makes Hue representative of many coastal cities in central Viet Nam. The project will demonstrate two innovative technologies for climate resilient, low carbon development in Viet Nam. These two technologies are both highly pertinent to the current stage of development of Viet Nam and are both highly replicable to secondary cites in Viet Nam.
