Landscape Infrastructure - An Original Implementation Approach of Green Infrastructure in Hue, Vietnam

Regardless of the high percentage of trees, diversity, and distinctiveness, Hue’s landscape is still fragmented, lacks a connection to urban infrastructure, and has not yet contributed to urban flood control. In addition, the Green Infrastructure (GI) approach - which is gaining worldwide attention - is a sustainable solution that delivers the benefits of ecosystem services and adapts to floods and other climate change impacts. Based on researching GI application experience and analyzing urban landscape identity and the urban infrastructure limitation, this paper aimed at identifying landscape infrastructure (LI) due to GI techniques to appropriately enhance GI application in Hue, Vietnam. The article presents the current context of Hue’s urban landscape, the possible GI and LI assets for site application, and the specific measures to synchronize the urban LI as GI tools. As a result, the urban LI creates an interconnected network of green space to effectively support flood regulation and inspire the adoption of GI on the urban level.
