Visions for the Red River Delta 6. Conclusion

At regional scale, three visions are proposed: VISION 1: X-PORT CITY, VISION 2: GROWING THE DELTA, and VISION 3: SPACE FOR THE RIVER.

Each of them individually focuses one major spatial element in the delta:INFRASTRUCTURE, FOREST (GREEN SPACE), and WATER (BLUE SPACE). In vision 1, the studio tries to use INFRASTRUCTURE to control the development of industry and also decrease the pressure surrounding the UNESCO world heritage site Ha Long Bay. On the other hand, we propose vision 2 and vision 3 to try to guide the developments of new urban areas and settlements.

We expect the development and growth in the delta would be well organized and guided after we combined these visions.
