MAPPING

“The world is flat”, isn’t it?

he answer is that The world is flat and going to be flat. Today, many sub-urban areas, especially in ward 16, district 8 and a small part of Binh Tan, are influenced by the develoment of city. In this transition zone,daily life of local peolpe is affected day by day. Some still work and live in this place ,some others do not. They want to earn more money or change their life by selling their houses to go another place to live. New people come to buy and rebuild those houses, are often officers with silent lifestyle. It leads to the weak interaction between people and the changes in housing typology. Besides, blocks of flats and housing estate appear in vacant land, but the connection with surrounding areas does not have. Thus, public realms is very weak within new planning residential areas and activities in old ares are to become weaker and weaker in urbaniztion of world.

Development of residential area n the history, the King promulgated a law to dig new canal with parrallel Ă?oi canal to help the flow of transport more convenient. Numerous sellers saw the convenience for the artificial canal - its low depth and slow flow of water- so they ultilised this advantage and combined it with two side of banks for despatching vegetables and fruits from boat to land from Mekong delta to Sai Gon center. From that point, a large number of subtainable houses appears for accommodation along banks with livelihood aim. At the same time, Ho Hoc Lam and An Duong Vuong were built to create permeability for the site wich followed the plannning of city center with more forecasting projects made. After a 15 year period, nearly the two third of the site has been under sea level and now it has cover more land to improve geography area. However,a big number of house are built in the hinterland site in the weak geography which most of them are swam, pond, and lake buryingn by rubber or woods.

Final evalution

Conclusion verall, this section has a potential development in a long term stratergies. However, we have to ultilize methods to interact bewent green spaces, open spaces and commercial areas, becoming a unique system if as a small city in the central city

LANDSCAPE AS INFRASTRUCTURE

HOW WE ARRIVED AT THIS VISION he increasing of unmaintained vacant lots has potentially transformative impact in the form of landscape that can be collectively harnessed into a new multifunctional landscape system to improve the area in terms of ecological performance and its communities. Through natural

process, these plot turn out to be spontaneous green space and are not used to supply open spaces for its residents. Population is increasing rapidly leading to the demand of more spaces to live, meanwhile there are a lot of lands available. However, in order to provide a community

open spaces that are not only as recreational landscape, but they also productive landscapes, we suggest to transform these vacant lots into a series of multifunctional landscape network, to make these vacant lots valuable.
