The IUDF is expected to contribute to strengthening rural-urban linkages, and promote urban resilience and urban safety. These goals inform the priority objectives of nice policy levers: i) integrated uiban planning and management, ii) integrated transport and mobility, iii) integrated sustainable human settlements, iv) integrated uiban infrastructure, v) efficient land governance and management, vi) inclusive economic development, vii) empowered active communities, viii) effective uiban governance, and ix) sustainable finances. The current urban legislative framework in Viet Nam, despite its considerable extent (e.g., laws, plans, strategies and programmes) (Table 2.2), has a very similar caveat as the current urban policy frameworks.
