  • Urbanization and Sustainability in Asia
    8. Lao People’s Democratic Republic RICHARD MABBITT INTRODUCTION The Lao PeopleÊs Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) was created when the Royal Lao Government was overthrown following a popular revolution in 1975. During 1975–1986, the country was run under a strict command economy. Since then, there has been a slow transition to a socialist market economy, including the adoption of the Lao PDR Constitution in 1991. The changes to the economy have led to increased urbanization, which is placing pressure on local governments to meet the growing demand for improved urban services to encourage industrial development and new investment opportunities. Table 8.1 shows relevant national statistics. This chapter explores the issues affecting sustainable urban region devel- opment in the Lao PDR. The case studies have been chosen to illustrate dif- ferent aspects of urban and regional development planning at three scales. In the Vientiane case study, attention is focused on participatory village improvements. The Luang Prabang case study looks at the achievements and problems of urban upgrading and heritage management projects work- ing alongside each other in a medium-sized secondary town. The third study examines the broad objectives of the international East-West Economic Cor- ridor and how it is affecting the development of the countryÊs second city, Savannakhet, and its hinterland. COUNTRY CONTEXT Physical and Demographic Background The Lao PDR is a landlocked country with an area of 236,800 square kilometers (km2). It shares borders with Cambodia,

  • 25-6 Drainage System

Official economic projections in “Five-year National Development Plan 2001-2005” and “Long-term Development Plan 2001-2020” were described in Section 5.1. The Five-year Plan has a more specific projection that includes sectoral scenarios, but the “Long-term Plan” shows overall targets for the year 2020. In this study, then, the future projections are based on the “Five-year Plan” projection scenario. The criteria for the projection are assumed as follows. (1) That major sectors grow at the following annual rates until 2005 as proposed in the “Five-year Plan”: 4.5% in the agricultural sector, 10.5% in the industrial sector, 8.5% in the services sector and a 7.0% rise from import duties. As a result, the GDP is expected to grow at 7.0% per annum on average during the planned period. (2) That after 2005, the respective sectors grow at the same rates as set in the “Five-year Plan” until the target year 2020. The GDP projected with the above assumptions are shown in Table 25-1.
