Abstract
This paper outlines an urban structure type approach to interpret the interlinkages between sustainable infrastructure provision and the existing and evolving urban fabric of the Central Vietnamese city of Da Nang. Urban structure type mapping has become a widely used tool for categorising cities into homogenous areas for both planning and monitoring actions. The work investigates the relationships between the built environment and the spatial patterns of supporting infrastructure. Spatially mapped urban structure types and infrastructures provide a clear picture of Da Nang’s shortcomings and requirements towards strategizing effective cross-sectorial policy-making, planning and monitoring.
