It is the year 2050, in the Mekong Delta sea level have risen by at least 1 meter. Heavy rainfall alternate with periods of extreme drought. Flooding, salinisation and drought have forced 1.000.000 inhabitants of the Delta to settle elsewhere. These climate migrants are looking for a place where they hope to build a right to exist.

Vietnam, and in particularly the Mekong Delta, has had various periods of migration flows. Sinds the late 80’s urbanisation has started and this trend will continue in the future. 

So how can urban areas deal with the large flow of climate migrants? And how do we ensure that these people can also form an integral part of the society? 

This strategy is based on the organisation of a refugee camp. But in stead of forming a distant closed area, different communities are spread inside the city. Migrants can get involved more quickly on the developments of the city. 

Using the grid of the refugee camp, the strategy is scalable and easy to form. The interpretation of the grid is adaptable and flexible.
