Abstract

The development of the urban space of Tourane City (today Da Nang City) began with commercial activities along the banks of the Han River, where indigenous peoples had their first contacts with foreign traders. The French were not the first foreigners to recognize the role of this land. However, with the period of their domination in this city, French planning had an obvious impact on the development of urban morphology of Tourane. Because of continuous renovations and urban expansion, the values of French planning and architecture are seriously threatened. By linking various sources and literature on colonial urbanism, as well as by applying the research methods of urban morphology, this study aims to highlight the characteristics, roles and significant impacts of French on the process of urban development and social transformation of Tourane during the French colonial period (1888-1950).
