Hanoi’s population has exploded over the past 30 years. Unfortunately, its green spaces have not kept pace with that growth.
In this episode, we take a closer look at some of the creative ways that grassroots organizers have pushed to create more inclusive green spaces, focusing on the Bo Vo Chuong Duong Forest park in the Red Riverine district. We will hear from Quốc Đạt, co-founder of Think Playgrounds which spearheaded the transformation of a former dumping ground, as well as Dr. Jonghak Kim who recently completed his PhD on urban development processes in Hanoi. Join us as we explore the creative ways civil society in contemporary Vietnam engage the government, how the new park is making a splash in the local community, and discuss whether green spaces like it can help shape Hanoi’s future.
