Vietnamese urban planners applaud smart city model

At the international seminar on smart urban planning and development in Vietnam held in Hanoi on November 7, participants drew the conclusion that a smart city model called green U-City is one of the most effective models to help Vietnam ‘s urban areas develop stably.

The event was co-organised by the Vietnam Urban Planning and Development Association and the Republic of Korea’s Research Institute for Human Settlements. 

Ubiquitous City (U- City) is a Korean urban development model that seeks to overcome the fundamental limitations of development in traditional cities by integrating cutting-edge IT technology into urban space and creating a sustainable, human-oriented city. The U-City has also been included a greater focus on ecological technology. 

Participants said that green U-City would be a successful solution if applied in Vietnam. Transport, environment and crime prevention would be kept under control as the U-City model provides residents with real-time traffic data, e-medical support and disaster information by using advanced IT infrastructure. 

To realise the model in Vietnam, it should develop a strategic roadmap with concrete plans and a synchronous infrastructure system, said Lee Kae Yong, the Institute’s director.
