This project aims to make clear the urbanization process of Hanoi in the
19th-21st centuries using an area informatics approach. It will look at
changes to city formation from conventional communities, aspects of nature's
topography, the natural environment, underground structures, the role of
the Red River delta and local communities through a multilayered analysis.
First, the urban infrastructure and community changes after 1831 will be
studied through spatiotemporal analysis. Second, a detailed study will
be conducted including topographical analysis, water-stream environment,
the natural environment such as dikes for Red River and interactions between,
the local community and natural hazards also integrating research on the
underground, the surface of the earth, and the ground itself from the late
20th century. Finally, this research will clarify the formation of the
urban infrastructures of central Hanoi in connection with human beings,
the nature habits of the wider area of Hanoi and explain the dynamism in
the context of general urban infrastructure formation processes.
