Adapting heritage conservation to natural disasters
Following the floods in November 2025, a section of the wall of Hue Imperial Citadel, approximately 15 metres long, collapsed. It has since been restored, almost a year later. Along the nearly 3-km-long defensive wall, however, tens of metres still require support from steel frames, highlighting the increasingly evident impact of heavy rain and flooding, heatwaves, storms, and landslides on Hue’s centuries-old heritage sites.
