Ho Chi Minh City Moving Towards the Sea with Climate Change Adaptation HCMC’s sea-harbour, being located in the central districts on the banks of the Saigon River is economically crucial for Southern Vietnam in general and HCMC in particular. To ensure further harbour and economic developments one has to create room for urban planning in central districts, HCMC currently plans to move its harbour facilities southwards towards the sea. As such, a shift into low-lying areas also means that vital infrastructure of the city will be moved to areas highly vulnerable to climate change and especially sea-level rise, HCMC recognizes the importance to climate-proof these activities. Similar developments are currently implemented by the city of Rotterdam that already shifts its harbour facilities toward the sea. To share respective knowledge and experiences regarding Figure 10.12 Consultations: HCMC Moving towards the Sea with Climate Change Adaptation, June 2010. both technical aspects but also institutional processes, the two cities are currently engaging in a strategic partnership as part of the Connecting Delta Cities Initiative. The partnership shall also address other aspects of climate-proofi ng urban (re-) development. On June 14 th and 15th 2010, representatives from both cities met in HCMC together with a wide range of stakeholders from the private sector, knowledge institutes and national and local public authorities to explore needs and opportunities for further cooperation. The workshop resulted in an agreement on the key issues and next steps to be taken by HCMC and Rotterdam. This cooperation is part of a wider Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA) between Vietnam and the Netherlands. H O C H I M I N H C I T Y 137
