Germany funds course on environmental planning

The Vietnam-Germany Summer School opened a training course on environmental and spatial planning in Hanoi on November 28.

The course is jointly hosted by the National University of Science, Leibniz Institute for Ecological Urban and Regional Development, and Dresden University of Technology .

It aims to equip learners – officials and university lecturers - with knowledge of urban and rural planning systems, environmental planning, monitoring instruments and applications.

Through the course, participants will have more experience in developing environmental planning and economic development projects closely linked to environmental sustainable development in localities.

German and Vietnamese experts will have the chance to exchange knowledge and cooperation channels in scientific research, education and training.

Professor Bui Duy Cam, Rector of the National University of Science, noted that the course is very useful to policymakers in Vietnam and hoped that more such training courses would be deployed in the country.

“We are working closely with our partners to develop a masters degree training programme, as well as other long-term training programmes in the future,” said Cam.

German and Vietnamese speakers will introduce frameworks and indicators systems for sustainable urban development in Germany, strategy and policy on environment planning, population growth and land use in Vietnam and Germany, and integrated sustainable development of rural area towards pure Vietnamese villages.

They will also examine climate change as a new challenge for urban and regional development in Germany, integration of climate change into urban and rural development planning, and environmental aspects in spatial planning.

Learners will be awarded certificates at an international workshop examining the matter in Hanoi on December 1.
