Danang is one of the cities in Vietnam that recognized the important of having CDS for its development.
Despite of the fact that the CDS has no position in current planning system of Vietnam, it has been
implemented indirectly by city leaders and local professionals. Along with the raising awareness of having
CDS for the development in cities, climate change is raising issue in Vietnam as well in Danang but there
are challenges facing to that. It is because of top down planning, limited financial resources, limited
human resources, lack of coordination and vulnerability to climate change and rapid urbanization.
