View of the Scientific Workshop on Da Lat Planning to 2045[/caption] According to experts, preserving green space should be a focus in all planning orientations. Professor Hoang Dao Kinh emphasized that the harmony between traditional and modern architecture creates a unique urban space, while preserving the soul of the city. Historical structures, from ancient villas to flower garden systems, need to be strictly protected through specific management regulations. In addition, clearly dividing the core zone, buffer zone and expansion zone will ensure synchronization between conservation and development. In the context of increasing population and number of tourists, the risk of destroying Da Lat's architectural landscape is a big challenge. Architect Tran Ngoc Chinh said that to balance conservation and modernization, it is necessary to deploy a smart transportation system, including efficient public transportation and green routes. This helps to reduce environmental impact, improve the quality of life for residents, and create convenience for tourists. [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="800"]

Lakes, pine forests and waterfalls not only have natural value but are also irreplaceable cultural heritage. Measures such as restoring water resources, protecting forest land and expanding green space will contribute to maintaining ecological balance. Moreover, integrating parks and community living areas into the planning will create a close connection between people and nature. Besides nature, architectural heritage also needs to be promoted in the urban development strategy. Ancient French villas, pagodas and churches are historical relics that need to be preserved in their original state. New planning must be accompanied by regular restoration and application of modern technology to recreate lost values, in order to enrich the cultural experience for visitors. The community factor plays an indispensable role in the planning process. TS. Tran Thi Lan Anh commented that Da Lat's identity is not only associated with the landscape or architecture but also expressed through the living culture of the residents here. Therefore, it is necessary to promote dialogues, seminars and community consultation activities, creating conditions for people to directly participate in planning the future of the city. The consensus and commitment of the community will become a solid foundation to help Da Lat develop sustainably. Da Lat, with its unique cultural and natural values, is facing a golden opportunity to become a modern, international-class city. The harmony between conservation and development, between innovation and preservation, will be the key to helping the city remain a symbol of eternal beauty, standing firm with time. The new urban area is not only a testament to sustainable development but also an affirmation of the respect for Da Lat's heritage in the journey towards the future.Hoang Anh
