Abstract
With the rapid growth of the coastal population, predicted to account for 60% of the country’s population, Vietnamese coastal cities and towns should not continue developing separately. By systematic thinking and good organization, the coastal cities and towns should link together to establish the costal urban system. This development model will support the economy of scale, level up the efficiency of using coastal infrastructure, and protect national sovereignty. Globally, the megalopolis is an efficient model for managing the coastal urban system. This research will provide international evidences, analyze statistical data of the coastal urban system in the Vietnamese context, and suggest a potential roadmap for applying this coastal urban management model to our management system.
