Urban expansion is a global phenomenon. The study explored causes of urban sprawl and solutions for promoting sustainable urban development in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, a case study in Pleiku city in the context of rapid urbanization. The semi-quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used to collect the data including the questionnaire, focus group discussion (FGD), descriptive statistics and stakeholder analysis (SA) method. The results illustrate that there were consistencies between the two groups (citizens and experts) about the causes of urban sprawl including housing investment, lack of affordable housing, lack of proper planning policies, weak land use planning, industrialization, increasing household’s income. On the contrary, there was an inconsistency in the related causes to citizens ignore of urban legislation; land hunger attitude; local cultural behavior. The study also proposed appropriate solutions for sustainable urban development in the context of climate change, towards "green cities for health". |
