Mapping

The set of projects in the mapping work package will focus on revitalisation and sustainability, and developing solutions that ensure they continue beyond the lifespan of the project.

The projects will align the river-city research network to the School of Communication & Design at RMIT Vietnam’s Cities and Urbanism research cluster. The projects will help build and facilitate partnerships between researchers, practitioners and local communities of District 4 and District 7, exploring their relationship to the Kenh Te canal. Creative mapping tools will be employed to generate impact in the community and with other stakeholders. 

The mapping processes will also engage with historical archive maps and current master planning maps (as conceived spaces) by sourcing and producing new forms of creative mapping processes as a social and ecological overlay of perceived spaces and lived space (e.g. Lefebvre 1991).
