Luang Prabang Smart and Integrated Urban Strategy

08 December 2023

The Luang Prabang Smart and Integrated Urban Strategy was prepared by the Luang Prabang provincial government, with the ASEAN Australia Smart Cities Trust Fund (AASCTF) assistance and is based on extensive consultations with public and private stakeholders during mid-2022 through mid-2023. It outlines a smart city strategic infrastructure plan to achieve Luang Prabang’s ambition to become a more livable heritage city for all. This ambition statement encapsulates the city’s key attributes: its heritage, urban fabric, and its people. Three strategic pillars: (i) Integrated Tourism and Heritage Destination, (ii) Clean and Safe Environment, and (iii) Sustainable Villages and a 15-Minute City, guide the specific strategies and smart city projects required to realize Luang Prabang’s livable heritage city ambition. The strategy is also available in Lao version.

The AASCTF is financed by the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, managed by the Asian Development Bank, and implemented by Ramboll.
