Abstract. The ecological urban system in Vietnam has been formed and developed for years. It is estimated
that 755 ecological urban areas are currently classified at different levels from special to grade IV urban
areas. Many urban areas are formed based on the principle of creating a quality urban environment and a
number of criteria for evaluation stemmed from improving the standard of living in the era of technological
advancement. However, protecting the living environment as well as minimizing environmentally harmful
activities should be taken into consideration when developing eco-urban areas, in which protecting and
promoting natural ecological systems such as seas, rivers, lakes, mountains and hills are very crucial. The
problem is to research and integrate solutions for planning and developing ecological urban areas in the
direction of sustainable development and the article applies the planning of the old crater eco-city as an
example for further research.
