Bioengineering – Case Studies from Vietnam

This presentation was delivered by Dr. Jeremy Carew-Reid, Director of ICEM at the International Forum on Sustainable Infrastructure: Integrating Climate Resilience and Natural Capital into Transport Infrastructure Planning and Design in Hanoi, Vietnam on 17 and 18 May 2017. It presents a case study from the ADB project Promoting Climate Resilient Rural Infrastructure in Northern Mountains of Vietnam on how non-conventional engineering, or bioengineering, solutions, can be used as a low-cost alternative to strengthen infrastructure, to resist the hazards associated with climate change and to provide opportunities to enhance community livelihoods.
