 Contrary to the advantages, Da Nang also has disadvantages that need to be taken
care of. First of all, the hills in the middle and Da Nang airport act as an
impediment to Da Nang's connectivity, visibility corridor, and east-to-west wind
corridor. They also interfere with the potential development of key downtown
nodes. In addition, high strategic value areas are also affected by an existing
cemetery and burial ground in the heart of Da Nang. These places will need to be
relocated in the long run to rationalize such prime land use so close to the city
center. In addition, the Airport restricts the open space of the surrounding high-
value land, due to strict restrictions on the height of buildings, especially around
the city center. The majority of projects have committed at Da Nang has low
density, thus limiting the optimal development potential of these areas. Special use
functions such as defense land limit urban development in the area. Much of Da
Nang, especially around the coastal areas, is at risk of flooding and salinization
due to its low altitude. Finally, Due to the lack of land reserve measures in existing
urban areas, the possibility of expanding railway lines to ensure the ability to meet
future demand is limited.
