For highly dynamic regions, this has often led to an overestimation of climate extremes as a driver of risk. Our impact assessment study for Ho Chi Minh City highlights, that the influence of non-climatic stressors – like urbanisation as the spatial manifestation of socio-economic processes is still widely under acknowledged. We argue a scenario-based approach is needed to understand the interrelationship between urban growth, urban land use planning and hydrometeorological hazards and to provide local planning authorities with the muchneeded insights into the drivers of risk. The location of residential areas, industrial parks, critical infrastructure and facilities are in themselves important spatial indicators to assess the vulnerability of urban communities to climate-related hazards. Ho Chi Minh City presented as an archetypical mega-urban example, where spatial planning for adapted urban land uses will be instrumental in addressing climate challenges. Research findings for the city demonstrate that through adapted land use planning, climate-related vulnerability parameters can be modified to reduce current and future urban risks. Yet planning alone is simply not enough. Within its multi-stakeholder environment borne out of conflicting interests, land use planning requires more than ever science-based information to formulate spatially explicit adaptation measures to climate change.

ED - Zeile, Peter ED - Elisei, Pietro T1 - Risk Management and Spatial Planning – Understanding Rapid Urbanization in Climate Change T2 - Proceedings, REAL CORP 2013, Planning Times N2 - In the emerging mega-urban regions of Southeast Asia, both planned and unplanned urbanisation into flood prone areas appears to be an unavoidable consequence of socio-economic development. These risks occur, often not due to a lack of risk awareness or weak planning instruments, but seem to be an accepted consequence of maintaining current economic success and social progress. Flood risk protection and implementation of costly mitigation measures are often shifted to a future development cycle, where implementation is not seen to constrain the economic goals. Asian cities located in deltaic settings such as Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in Vietnam, exhibit higher exposure levels to flood risk primary as a result of their location, their low elevation and if located in tropical regions, the significant annual variations in climatic and weather extremes they incur, so that a compelling need for dedicated site specific risk assessment and urban planning arises. Disasters like the recent flood in Bangkok in 2011 have shown that this development strategy cannot be justified any longer, especially in the times of a changing climate. Associated economic losses and social implications are simply too high. Our results are an outcome of a 5 year research project in HCMC funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research, focused on developing adaptation options to climate risks that could then be subsequently implemented into the existing land-use planning framework. Based on the development of core indicators describing future urban structural changes in relation to the changing patterns of risk exposures, spatially explicit planning recommendations were compiled in close cooperation with the responsible city authorities. Our contribution focuses on how to overcome the current limitations in implementing scientifically-founded and evidence-based adaptation planning to flood risks by communicating the importance in realising the present and plausible opportunities to influence future urban land-use.
