Resilient Urban Centres and Surrounds (RUCaS)
Hanoi University of Civil Engineering green building refurbishment
Hanoi, Viet Nam
ICEM team meeting with HUCE academic team
HUCE disused building - site for NbS development
Supported by ADB and working with the ICEM, this project is an opportunity to work directly with the university in a highly built-up area.
Activities will include developing a second stage NbS overlay of the masterplan, including conceptualising NbS assets such as green walls, rainwater harvesting, and waste to circular economy units. The HUCE site will also be an example site and practical learning lab for NbS. It will engage academics and students in a design competition; the RUCaS team will provide specifications and help judge entries that advance GEDSI inclusive design, including an entry area for women (and gender diverse) led design. Documentation will be a key focus to support communication and upscaling.
