Shaping the unknown future
Institute of Smart City and Management (ISCM) was established with the goal of becoming a connector between universities, government management agencies, research organizations, domestic and foreign companies, and the local community. Together, we will research and propose smart strategies and creative solutions to solve urban problems and develop a better education towards sustainable urban development in Vietnam.
As an estimated 70% of the world population will live in cities by 2050, architecture, urban design, and planning against pandemic will become even more important in years to come.
But the pandemic also offers a chance to change and prepare for our future. This
is the time for us to reshape the way our cities are built, maintained, and lived in.
The question is: How should we shape our city for the unknown future?
The global COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic has severe negative impacts
on
all aspects of social life in 2020. It has rapidly spread around the
world, posing enormous health, economic, environmental, and social
challenges to the entire human population.
