Problems

From “Doi Moi” Reform occurred and free market economy was accepted in 1980s, Hue has quickly developed in terms of economic growth and administrative reform, and was identified as the number one urban area on 24/8/2005. However, pressure from rapid population growth, urbanization and lack of awareness about environmental issues has led to increased environmental degradation in the Hue City. There are many serious problems emerging in the city such as waste, sewage, plant disappearing, disordered advertisement boards, and roadway and roadside encroaching. These problems are negatively affecting the community’s health and damaging urban landscape in the Hue City. These issues have been mentioned and discussed in the mass media in recent years. The Hue City Council has in recent days organized conferences on city environmental and community’s health problems, and these environmental problems have been prioritized to be addressed.
