Networked: Towards urban resilience and economic growth in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta

Abstract

This study of seven provincial capitals in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region, conducted in cooperation with the Vietnam Government, is intended toinform government decision-making on strengthening disaster and climate resilience in these cities, to enable them to contribute to regional economic growth and resilience. The study contributes to the World Bank’s long-term multi-sectoral engagement with the Vietnam Government on the Mekong Delta region, which includes support for a development policy operation currently under preparation and a delta plan.
