For decades, Hanoi's pavements have served not only as wallways but also as spaces for street vendors and small businesses.

Now the city is stepping up efforts to reclaim pavements for

pedestrians as part of a broader campaign to improve urban order and civility.

To help us better understand both the importance of this effort and the challenges involved,

we are now joined by Dr. To Kien,

a senior planner and manager from 8 Japan Engineering Consultants.

First of all, hello and thank you so much for joining us on Newsline today.

In your view, what have sidewalks in Vietnamese cities traditionally represented?

And why have repeated efforts to restore order struggled to deliver lasting results?

Well, for decades, sidewalks in Vietnamese cities have been far more than just transport space.

They are unique social and economic ecosystems,

where street vendors, small shops,

daily interactions, and lively street life creates the distinct energies upon Asian cities.

This is most cultural identities and a major tourist appeal.

So the real problem is that occupation has gone too far.

Public space has been overly privatized by vendors,

motorbike parking, narrow local interests,

often taking away pedestrians' basic right to save movement,

especially for the elderly, children and people with disabilities.

So many cleanup campaigns have failed because there were mostly short-term breakouts,

two manuals, lacking technology, lacking study enforcement,

and the realistic livelihood alternatives.

So the true challenge is not whether to remove or to preserve sidewalk life,

but how to reorganize it more fairly and sustainably.

Really interesting point of view.

Hanoi has recently enforced sidewalk order more aggressively under Plan 322,

creating clearer streets, but also causing livelihoods loss and spillover into alleys and reduced street character.

So in your opinion, what would be a more balanced way,

let's say, a path forward?

Restoring sidewalk order is absolutely necessary.

But since authorities are simply removing vendors without rebuilding livelihoods,

Informed trades are quickly spilling into olives and leapt over tiny public spaces,

creating new congestion, sanitation problems,

and even greater fire evacuation risk.

We can solve one group's survival needs by shifting the burden onto others.

Hanoi should also avoid a one-size-fits-all approach because different districts serve different urban roles.

In the old quarters, historic areas and tourist zones,

once a minimum 1.5 to 2m pedestrian path is secured,

some controlled street commerce including conditional sidewalk leasing can be allowed to preserve local characters.

By contrast, non-tourism districts should focus more on safety, mobility and convenience.

At the same time, the city needs to expand open or semi-sheltered pocket vendor areas that can be seen from the streets,

time-based vending streets, and alternative business clusters such as Singapore-style hawker centers.

So the right approach is smart zoning,

not blanket removal, I think.

I see.

How do you assess Hanoi's pilot plan to lease sidewalks in selected qualified areas?

What would you recommend to ensure the policy is both effective and sustainable?

Experiences from Singapore, Seoul, or Tokyo shows that sidewalk business only works well when pedestrians rise come first,

while commercial use remains a tightly controlled second layer.

So Hanoi is moving in the right direction,

I think, by limiting the leasing policy to wider sidewalks,

keeping at least 1.5 meters for pedestrians and requiring neighborhood consensus.

However, the current fees are still too low with these undervaluing public assets and simply turning informal occupations into cheap paid privileges.

So, the key question is not just whether sidewalks can be leased,

but who gets access and under what rules.

Hanoi should adopt location-based pricing,

transparent visitor options, short-term permits with regular review,

review and prioritize small-scale livelihoods rather than mainly favoring shop-front owners.

So if done well, it could mark a real shift from short-term crackdowns to modern,

fair urban governance, I think.

Right.

Thank you so much, Dr. Tu Kien for joining us on Newsline today.

Yes, and as Dr. Tu Kien just pointed out,

clearing the sidewalk is not the only and simply the solution here.

The important part here is to find a balance between public order,

pedestrian rights and the livelihoods that have long depended on these spaces.

Now across the capital, many business owners

and residents are now adjusting to the city's stricter pavement regulations as cleaner

and more organized streets gradually become part of daily life.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
