Abstract

This review article explores the critical intersection of smart agriculture, sustainable tourism, and urban resilience as a comprehensive framework for sustainable development in Vietnam. It analyzes the economic, social, and environmental benefits of smart agriculture and sustainable tourism while highlighting the severe threat of land subsidence in major urban centers, such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, drawing on the seminal research of Dinh Ho Tong Minh. The paper argues that an integrated policy approach, which includes the development of agritourism and addresses the root causes of subsidence, is essential for ensuring long-term economic prosperity, environmental protection, and social equity. Finally, it proposes a set of integrated policy recommendations for Vietnamese policymakers to navigate the complexities of modern development, ensuring that economic growth does not compromise the environmental and social foundations upon which it is built.
