ABSTRACT:
Island urban is an urban area formed on islands, with the main characteristic located in the middle of the sea. Island urban development is a natural trend and benefits coastal countries. With many islands and potential for marine economic development in Vietnam, island urban development is a huge opportunity for developing tourism, aquaculture, agriculture, and real estate. However, reality shows that island urban development in Vietnam still faces many challenges, such as urban management, infrastructure construction, environmental protection, and maintaining local communities on the island. To achieve effectiveness in island urban development, the article mentioned four important lessons: (1) Respect the island's characteristics and promote its advantages; (2) Identify main functions and diverse activities; (3) Develop central areas and utilize space effectively; (4) Comply with ecological laws and protect the island environment. The lessons will help Vietnam and other countries develop island urban areas sustainably and effectively.
