Abstract
Today, Urban Planning in Vietnam faces a lot of problems due to the paradox between traditional master planning systems and modern context of rapid transformation. Alternatives are practiced in some cities, especially in the context of international integration. Various methods and cooperative projects have attempted to subvert the strict master-planning approach with high levels of centralization and reliance upon planning by command and control. However, despite many efforts, it seems impossible to completely replace current planning system by another advance method, which has no attachments with its developed context. The paper studies and schematizes the complexity of master planning process in Vietnam, which is regulated by various legal documentaries. On the other hand, it simultaneously studies strategic planning method and selectively chooses valuable features which fits local context. By confronting and integrating them with each other, the paper aims to introduce an advance master planning process that adaptive and flexible to modern challenges.

Summary
Vietnam is in a rapid urbanization process. Going hand-in-hand with it, urban planning has made positive changes but still remains relatively limited, not adapted to challenges and the rapid changes in the market economy. In order to successfully deal with the international integration process, which is happening in different scale and scope, some additions of more adaptive method should be added to the current urban planning system. To restrict deficiencies of the traditional urban planning method, new approaches in urban planning have been researched and applied by Vietnam Government Agencies. The application of methods in urban planning has not achieved the desired results; the new methods have not yet been institutionalized and matched with the existing urban context of Vietnam [1]. The integration between traditional urban planning method and values of Strategic Planning approach will complement each other and make urban planning system more complete, flexible, feasible and responsive to challenges of rapid urbanization process in Vietnam, especially in context of international integration. The integration between traditional urban planning method and values of Strategic Planning approach will complement each other and make urban planning system more complete, flexible, feasible and responsive to challenges of rapid urbanization process in Vietnam, especially in context of international integration.
