Abstract
This paper proposes new development orientation for cities and rural residential areas in the Plain of Reeds, a region in Southern Vietnam that is subject to annual flooding and is grounded in the author’s practical experience and theoretical analysis. Furthermore, this study is based on the plain's features, the history of the foundation of regional urban and residential areas, and the successes and failures of previous planning in the region. Based on data from the Vietnamese government and the IMF, this development orientation is in opposition to the views of many leaders with respect to the development of the cities and rural residential areas of the region. It is hoped that this study will help administrators, planners, and other authorities in Vietnam and other countries.

This paper proposes new development orientation for cities and rural residential areas in the Plain of Reeds, a region in Southern Vietnam that is subject to annual flooding and is grounded in the author’s practical experience and theoretical analysis
The development orientation of a residential area or city is valuable and relevant if it is based on socio-economic planning that accurately predicts the development of a region
Summary
During the period of planned economies in Vietnam, all its rural and urban planning was developed and implemented by the government. Over the past 20 years, urban and rural planning in Vietnam, in the Mekong Delta, has witnessed many achievements, but there have been a considerable number of mistakes made during planning and implementation. These shortcomings have constrained the feasibility of urban and rural planning projects in Southern Vietnam and in the Plain of Reeds, in particular, which is an agricultural flood region. Based on the results of this study, the author aims to reveal the infeasibility of such previous planning and its implementation and to propose a planning orientation for the sustainable development of urban and rural areas in the region
