Climate change is changing the traditional context of urban development planning and is shaping the priorities of sustainability. While urban development trends in HCMC are addressing both mitigation needs and the rationale of adaptation to the effects of climate change, the main focus of combating climate change impacts in the megaurban region of HCMC has to be the practical implementation of adaptation measures. Planned adaptation implies policy decisions and measures at the urban-scale that facilitates the reduction of the adverse impacts of climate change. For HCMC it creates the necessity to take climate change responses into account in spatial planning practices. This will also lead to changes in the traditional administrative structures that spatial planning is accustomed to. Since many of the main impacts of climate change have a land-use or water-management dimension, a downscaled and spatially explicit urban environmental planning information system can function as a switchboard for mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development objectives. Currently there are large differences in the way knowledge is produced, the analytical approaches that are used and the designed urban and environmental planning strategies. The proposed sharing of a commonly accepted spatial information base can engage the dialogue between stakeholders and scientists in order to support the development of spatially explicit planning strategies that anticipate the climate change risks at the mega-urban scale and contribute to sustainable and resilient settlement structures for HCMC.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DownesStorch, author = {Downes, Nigel K. and Storch, Harry}, title = {Understanding Urban Structures - An Approach for Assessing Climate Risk in Emerging Megacities}, series = {EnviroInfo 2013 - Environmental Informatics and Renewable Energies, 27th International Conference on Informatics for Environmental Protection, September 2-4, 2013, University of Hamburg, Germany}, booktitle = {EnviroInfo 2013 - Environmental Informatics and Renewable Energies, 27th International Conference on Informatics for Environmental Protection, September 2-4, 2013, University of Hamburg, Germany}, editor = {Page, Bernd and Fleischer, Andreas G. and G{\"o}bel, Johannes and Wohlgemuth, Volker}, publisher = {Shaker-Verlag}, address = {Marburg}, isbn = {978-3-8440-1676-5}, pages = {781 -- 789}, language = {en} } @incollection{StorchEckertDownesetal., author = {Storch, Harry and Eckert, Ronald and Downes, Nigel K. and Schwartze, Frank and Huynh, Chau}, title = {HCMC: Climate-Adapted Planning}, series = {Space Planning and Design : Integrated Planning and Design Solutions for Future Megacities}, booktitle = {Space Planning and Design : Integrated Planning and Design Solutions for Future Megacities}, editor = {Pahl-Weber, Elke and Schwartze, Frank}, publisher = {Jovis}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-86859-277-1}, pages = {178 -- 191}, language = {en} } @misc{DownesStorch, author = {Downes, Nigel K. and Storch, Harry}, title = {Current Constraints and Future Directions for Risk Adapted Land-Use Planning Practices in the High-Density Asian Setting of Ho Chi Minh City}, series = {Planning Practice and Research}, volume = {29}, journal = {Planning Practice and Research}, number = {3}, issn = {1360-0583}, doi = {10.1080/02697459.2014.929835}, pages = {220 -- 237}, abstract = {The need to integrate adaptation efforts into land-use planning policies has been only recently recognised in Ho Chi Minh City, where only the very latest planning guidance addresses both flooding resilience and the mitigation of urban heat.

The key challenge is how to affectively guide and influence the mainly individual developer driven urban development within a land-use planning system which aims to spatially and explicitly communicate the important functions and services of open and natural non built-up urban spaces. As the implementation of more spatially explicit non-structural adaptation measures is in strong contrast to the current market driven private and short-term developer interests, the main development trajectories are questioned and synergies identified.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchmidtKatzschnerDownesetal., author = {Schmidt, Michael and Katzschner, Antje and Downes, Nigel K. and Gravert, Andreas and Burghardt, Ren{\´e} and Storch, Harry}, title = {Urban development, climate change, and associated risks in Ho Chi Minh City : Vulnerabilities and adaptation challenges for a rapidly growing megacity}, series = {Institutional and Social Innovation for Sustainable Urban Development}, booktitle = {Institutional and Social Innovation for Sustainable Urban Development}, editor = {Mieg, Harald A. and T{\"o}pfer, Klaus}, publisher = {Routledge Chapman \& Hall}, address = {London [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-0-415-63005-4}, pages = {180 -- 192}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DownesStorchRujneretal., author = {Downes, Nigel K. and Storch, Harry and Rujner, Hendrik and Moon, Ki Duk}, title = {Urban Sustainability in Times of Changing Climate: The Case of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam}, series = {46th ISOCARP Congress 2010 "Sustainable City, Developing World", Nairobi Kenya}, booktitle = {46th ISOCARP Congress 2010 "Sustainable City, Developing World", Nairobi Kenya}, publisher = {ISOCARP}, address = {The Hague}, pages = {1 -- 8}, language = {en} } @misc{DownesStorchThanhLe, author = {Downes, Nigel K. and Storch, Harry and Thanh Le, Hoa}, title = {Understanding the settlement patterns of Ho Chi Minh City as a key for adaptation to climate change}, series = {Aachener Geographische Arbeiten}, volume = {50}, journal = {Aachener Geographische Arbeiten}, issn = {0587-4068}, pages = {45 -- 68}, language = {en} } @misc{StorchDownesDươngetal., author = {Storch, Harry and Downes, Nigel K. and Dương, Pham Th{\`u}y and Anh, Nguyễn Ngoc and Linh, Nguyễn Th{\`u}y}, title = {Quy hoạch đất trong bối cảnh biến đổi kh{\´i} hậu - th{\´i}ch ứng với rủi ro ở th{\`a}nh phố Hồ Ch{\´i} Minh}, series = {Vietnam Environment Administration Magazine}, journal = {Vietnam Environment Administration Magazine}, number = {9}, issn = {1859-042X}, pages = {62 -- 65}, language = {mul} } @incollection{StorchDownes, author = {Storch, Harry and Downes, Nigel K.}, title = {Strategic Land-Use Planning in a Changing Climate : adapting to the Spatial Dynamics of Risk in Ho Chi Minh City}, series = {Urban Environment, Proceedings of the 11th Urban Environment Symposium (UES), held in Karlsruhe, Germany, 16-19 September 2012}, booktitle = {Urban Environment, Proceedings of the 11th Urban Environment Symposium (UES), held in Karlsruhe, Germany, 16-19 September 2012}, editor = {Rauch, S{\´e}bastien and Morrison, Gregory and Norra, Stefan and Schleicher, Nina}, publisher = {Springer Netherlands}, address = {Dordrecht}, isbn = {978-94-007-7755-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-94-007-7756-9_35}, pages = {399 -- 409}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StorchDownesNguyenetal., author = {Storch, Harry and Downes, Nigel K. and Nguyen, Xuan Thinh and Schmidt, Michael and Nguyen, Thi Hien Thuan and Ho, Long Phi and Goedecke, Manfred and Welsch, J{\"o}rn}, title = {Urban Environmental Planning Strategies for Ho Chi Minh City's Adaptation Response to Climate Change}, series = {Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers, 2010, Session: Combating Climate Change in Mega Cities, Online paper abstracts}, booktitle = {Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers, 2010, Session: Combating Climate Change in Mega Cities, Online paper abstracts}, publisher = {AAG}, address = {Washington, DC}, language = {en} } @misc{HelbronSchmidtGlassonetal., author = {Helbron, Hendrike and Schmidt, Michael and Glasson, John and Downes, Nigel K.}, title = {Indicators for strategic environmental assessment in regional land use planning to assess conflicts with adaptation to global climate change}, series = {Ecological Indicators}, volume = {11}, journal = {Ecological Indicators}, number = {1}, issn = {1470-160X}, doi = {10.1016/j.ecolind.2009.06.016}, pages = {90 -- 95}, abstract = {The paper presents the use of indicators in a site-specific assessment method for strategic environmental assessment in regional land use planning (here: SEA-REP). It is explained with the example of the state of environment indicator 'LUCCA 4—Urban Areas at Risk of Flooding', how SEA as a decision-aiding instrument can contribute to the prevention of conflicts with policy for adaptation to climate change. The method begins with the determination of impact factors for SEA. In the presented study, the physical impact factors of land consumption, land use change, and directed flooding were recognised. A core problem during the selection of indicators for land uses for the adaptation to climate change (here: LUCCA) and the derivation of assessment thresholds was a lack of region-wide policy objectives for the protection of land and resources. Therefore, in a second step, regional environmental orientation objectives were derived from national and EU environmental policy. A standard method for the selection of LUCCA indicators and the derivation of assessment thresholds for conflict analysis is described. Three classes of conflict classification for regional plan designations on the individual site are proposed. It is recommended that future adaptation measures of regional land use planning should be designations of specific land uses as priority areas for urban areas prone to flood risk.}, language = {en} }
