From Bookworm:

An investigation into the past development and future growth of Hanoi from village to a globalized mega-city that continues to envelope rural communities – with an emphasis on the Government’s concept for Hanoi by 2030.

Built of a floodplain now below the level of the Red River and with natural wetlands and lakes filled in or artificially concreted, the expanding city faces unique problems.

16 professionals including historians, architects and geographers offer their findings in the book authorized by CEPED (Centre Population et Development-Universite Paris Descartes)

‘Discovering CRAFT VILLAGES in Vietnam-ten itineraries around Hanoi’

Sylvie co-authored the book first published in 2010 and revised to cope with craft villages now enveloped within a fast growing city and those still thriving in close rural areas

This has been a bestseller with people who want to explore local craft environments

Language: English

Both books are published in Hanoi by The Gioi publishers
