Discussion on the development of green & blue infrastructure in Hue

Participants discussing at the seminar

This is part of the “Nature-based Solutions for Climate resilience enhancement in Urban areas in Central Vietnam” project, with Thua Thien Hue Province as a Pilot (GreenCityLab Hue project). The seminar aims to create a forum for exchanging ideas on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and Green & Blue Infrastructure (GBI) in the urban areas of Hue City. This is the third time the GreenCityLab Hue project organized a seminar related to NBS and GBI.

At the seminar, representatives from departments, committees, and sectors, as well as lecturers from universities in the province, discussed a variety of topics, including distribution and accessibility of public green spaces in urban areas; green space design related to ecosystem service functions; challenges in planning and implementing green spaces; needs and challenges concerning Hue public green spaces; survey results on Hue green space design and functions….

The seminar recognized problems in Hue City's green space planning and implementation, including design and technology challenges, legal challenges, investment challenges, public awareness and attitudes, and so on. As a result, GreenCityLab Hue will incorporate feedback to shape future activities, ensuring that the initiative meets its aims.
