For Vietnam, it is an opportunity to connect a globally recognized natural heritage with new ideas for sustainable urban development.

Reflecting new Seven Wonders enduring mission to celebrate places that inspire generations.

15 years after Ha Long Bay was recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature,

the organization behind that global campaign is turning its attention to a new challenge, identifying the future cities that could shape the way we live in the decades ahead.

And to learn more about that vision, we're delighted to welcome Mr. Jean -Paul De La Fuente, director of the New Seven Wonders.

So, Jean -Paul, it's a pleasure to have you with us in the studio today.

Vietnam today.

Just to start, we know that New 7 Wonders have been celebrating natural

and cultural wonders for more than nearly two decades now.

So why did New 7 Wonders decide to launch the Future Cities Initiative now?

Well, I think what's interesting about our previous campaigns is that we were honoring and recognizing the achievements of mankind, I guess, with the cultural wonders,

and also achievements of nature itself.

So now we wanted to look at what could be the future aspirations of humanity.

And I think where we live and how we live I think are fundamental parts of that.

And really that was the focus for this idea of the Seven Wonders of Future Cities.

Yeah, that's wonderful.

Yeah, and also speaking of the future cities, what qualities do you think matters the most?

We look at three criteria Dylan.

One is the ability for the city to be human centric, which is not just words.

It means that it takes into consideration what's important for human beings living there.

The other of course is the concept of sustainability and environment, but not just as words also about growing cities, how they grow, they grow with nature.

And of course, because we are in the times we are, they have to be smart cities.

So they have to have elements of smart technology.

that can impact all of those other qualities.

And those are the criteria

that we consider for a city to qualify to be a participant in the seven wonders of future cities.

Right.

When we think about initiative, historically, Vietnam has always been a country that is very proactive with their initiatives regarding protection of the environment, cultural heritage.

Vietnam now being one of the first countries to participate in the Future Cities initiatives, what does it mean for the country to be part of all this?

Well, I think your viewers will know this because they are, you know, fans and supporters and interested in in in vietnam

but the world needs to know

that vietnam is going through a step change a positive step

change transformative step change in terms of how it perceives itself as a nation at home

and in the world and i think both the public sector of course the government the leadership

and the private sector working together is showing how this works

and i think one of the best examples of this are the policies that are being put in place for

reducing the carbon impact of mobility in the major cities we know

that here in hanoi it's a it's a classic example of

that and really setting a model for other cities certainly across ASEAN, Asia and hopefully the rest of the world to follow.

So we see that as all part of the same story.

That's why we see we're not surprised to see

that Seven Wands of Future Cities was something that Vietnam wanted to participate on from the beginning.

Well thank you so much for all the insights John Paul

and thank you so much for joining us here today talking about the initiatives

and I hope you know to our audiences this has been an enlightening conversation.

So now Hat Long Bui had created in Vietnam.

And the Future Cities Initiative asks a different question.

What can Vietnam help for the future?

From protecting a natural wonder to shaping sustainable urban models, the journey marks a symbolic shift from the wonders we inherit to the ones we choose to build.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
