Duy is undertaking research related to flooding in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), a coastal city in Vietnam. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods are used to investigate the relationship between flooding vulnerability and urbanization progress, especially in emerging districts where transport is always the corner-stone of social-economic development. The research explores to what extend floods affect urban activities in terms of transportation. To improve urban resilience, the research aims to propose a conceptual model of resilient transport system to mitigate potential impacts by extreme floods based on some particular scenarios.
