To prepare the country for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Vietnam’s authorities are eager to develop and implement effective digital government strategies. Disruptive technology platforms and decision-support tools are perceived as a means for improving public infrastructure management, addressing the challenges of climate-change and offering better infrastructure service delivery. Extensive urbanization has amplified infrastructure demands. At the same time, poor planning and zoning implementation have exposed infrastructure investments to disaster and climate change risks. The traditional fragmented and paper based are not effective.

The overall impact of the project is the contribution to urban citizen’s benefit from more inclusive and resilient infrastructure services against climate-induced events through digital transformation.

Risultati fasi precedenti:  

A Flood Exposure Mapping and Decision Support Platform (FEDS) has been co-developed together with Ho Chi Minh City authorities and 200 local officials were trained on it. It was decided that the FEDS will be rolled out city wide.

In the area of Long An, road network data was analyzed to identify solutions to improve investment planning and maintenance of the road network.

The state of policies and practices concerning the local climate change screening of public infrastructure investments was mapped in Hue. It assessed to what extent Vietnam’s institutional context enables the application of not only new digital, but also green(er) process innovations in the planning of infrastructure investments.
