Urban Flood Resilience Development Through Architecture Landscape Design in Vinh River’s Banks

Abstract

Vinh City is the political, economic, and cultural center of Nghe An province, Vietnam. Due to Vinh City's location right at the mouth of the Lam River, the city is often flooded by its extensive waterway system. In this research, we focus on evaluating the data obtained through surveying the current status of Vinh City's drainage system; Hydraulic models are built to calculate the hydraulic parameters of rivers (river width, river bottom elevation, river water level). This experiment aims to provide information on the flood resilience of Central Vietnam while also creating a new scenario that includes public locations and communities near rivers. Our top goal is to create landscape architecture along both banks of the Vinh River, increase Vinh City's ability to withstand climate change, promote synchronous infrastructure development, and contribute to urban expansion. sustainable city and act as a catalyst for the socio-economic growth of Vinh City and Nghe An province in general. The project improves people's living standards, improves waterway ecosystems, and reduces the pain caused by annual floods. It also adds to the local science and landscape architecture community. This work exemplifies a comprehensive and integrated river restoration strategy. In this regard, the concept can simply be used as a methodology in other Vietnamese cities with similar characteristics.
