1
For decades, Hanoi's pavements have served not only as wallways but also as spaces for street vendors and small businesses.
2
Now the city is stepping up efforts to reclaim pavements for
3
pedestrians as part of a broader campaign to improve urban order and civility.
4
To help us better understand both the importance of this effort and the challenges involved,
5
we are now joined by Dr. To Kien,
6
a senior planner and manager from 8 Japan Engineering Consultants.
7
First of all, hello and thank you so much for joining us on Newsline today.
8
In your view, what have sidewalks in Vietnamese cities traditionally represented?
9
And why have repeated efforts to restore order struggled to deliver lasting results?
10
Well, for decades, sidewalks in Vietnamese cities have been far more than just transport space.
11
They are unique social and economic ecosystems,
12
where street vendors, small shops,
13
daily interactions, and lively street life creates the distinct energies upon Asian cities.
14
This is most cultural identities and a major tourist appeal.
15
So the real problem is that occupation has gone too far.
16
Public space has been overly privatized by vendors,
17
motorbike parking, narrow local interests,
18
often taking away pedestrians' basic right to save movement,
19
especially for the elderly, children and people with disabilities.
20
So many cleanup campaigns have failed because there were mostly short-term breakouts,
21
two manuals, lacking technology, lacking study enforcement,
22
and the realistic livelihood alternatives.
23
So the true challenge is not whether to remove or to preserve sidewalk life,
24
but how to reorganize it more fairly and sustainably.
25
Really interesting point of view.
26
Hanoi has recently enforced sidewalk order more aggressively under Plan 322,
27
creating clearer streets, but also causing livelihoods loss and spillover into alleys and reduced street character.
28
So in your opinion, what would be a more balanced way,
29
let's say, a path forward?
30
Restoring sidewalk order is absolutely necessary.
31
But since authorities are simply removing vendors without rebuilding livelihoods,
32
Informed trades are quickly spilling into olives and leapt over tiny public spaces,
33
creating new congestion, sanitation problems,
34
and even greater fire evacuation risk.
35
We can solve one group's survival needs by shifting the burden onto others.
36
Hanoi should also avoid a one-size-fits-all approach because different districts serve different urban roles.
37
In the old quarters, historic areas and tourist zones,
38
once a minimum 1.5 to 2m pedestrian path is secured,
39
some controlled street commerce including conditional sidewalk leasing can be allowed to preserve local characters.
40
By contrast, non-tourism districts should focus more on safety, mobility and convenience.
41
At the same time, the city needs to expand open or semi-sheltered pocket vendor areas that can be seen from the streets,
42
time-based vending streets, and alternative business clusters such as Singapore-style hawker centers.
43
So the right approach is smart zoning,
44
not blanket removal, I think.
45
I see.
46
How do you assess Hanoi's pilot plan to lease sidewalks in selected qualified areas?
47
What would you recommend to ensure the policy is both effective and sustainable?
48
Experiences from Singapore, Seoul, or Tokyo shows that sidewalk business only works well when pedestrians rise come first,
49
while commercial use remains a tightly controlled second layer.
50
So Hanoi is moving in the right direction,
51
I think, by limiting the leasing policy to wider sidewalks,
52
keeping at least 1.5 meters for pedestrians and requiring neighborhood consensus.
53
However, the current fees are still too low with these undervaluing public assets and simply turning informal occupations into cheap paid privileges.
54
So, the key question is not just whether sidewalks can be leased,
55
but who gets access and under what rules.
56
Hanoi should adopt location-based pricing,
57
transparent visitor options, short-term permits with regular review,
58
review and prioritize small-scale livelihoods rather than mainly favoring shop-front owners.
59
So if done well, it could mark a real shift from short-term crackdowns to modern,
60
fair urban governance, I think.
61
Right.
62
Thank you so much, Dr. Tu Kien for joining us on Newsline today.
63
Yes, and as Dr. Tu Kien just pointed out,
64
clearing the sidewalk is not the only and simply the solution here.
65
The important part here is to find a balance between public order,
66
pedestrian rights and the livelihoods that have long depended on these spaces.
67
Now across the capital, many business owners
68
and residents are now adjusting to the city's stricter pavement regulations as cleaner
69
and more organized streets gradually become part of daily life.
70
More in the following story.
71
Thanh Anh and his wife have been running a cafe on Lanong Street for about 10 years now.
72
Until last year, the cafe still placed tables and chairs on the pavement outside for customers to sit and enjoy their coffee.
73
Customers now have to either order and head upstairs or get their drinks to go.
74
Customers who specifically prefer sitting downstairs will simply leave.
75
I'm getting older now and there have been a lot of changes.
76
So, of course, at first it felt unfamiliar and made running the business a bit difficult.
77
But things will eventually fall into place.
78
Everyone has to adapt.
79
If you are on the streets of Hanoi,
80
you will see yellow lines like these on the pavements.
81
This side is for parking motorcycles and this side for pedestrians to walk on.
82
The pedestrian streets around Hoan Kiếm Lake have truly returned to their intended purpose for pedestrians.
83
The roads are no longer occupied by street vendors or any other form of business activity.
84
Some came to Hanoi with his family for a visit and also noticed the change.
85
It's absolutely wonderful.
86
Clean and tidy compared to the last time I was here more than 30 years ago.
87
It's at least 30 to 50 times cleaner.
88
Urban civility has improved significantly and residents have proactively adapted to the changes.
89
In the long run, people will clearly see a cleaner,
90
more beautiful and more civilized city.
91
A new habit in the way people use and treat pavements is gradually being rebuilt.
92
Clearing the pavements is no longer just a short-term campaign.
93
It is gradually bringing back the truly beautiful and peaceful image of the capital.

背景与背景信息
在越南的河内，城市的步道不仅是行人通行的地方，也曾是街头小贩和小商铺的经营空间。近年来，河内市政府加大了对步道治理的力度，旨在为行人创造更好的步行环境，改善城市秩序。然而，这一努力面对着诸多挑战，尤其是在重新组织步道的同时，如何平衡经济活动与行人安全之间的关系。通过采访8号日本工程顾问公司的高级规划师和经理托基恩博士，大家可以更深入了解到步道背后的社会经济生态以及为何历史上屡次的整治尝试未能取得持久的成效。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- 公共空间过度私有化 - 许多小贩和摩托车停车位占用了正常的行人通行空间。
- 重建生计 - 政府在清理小贩时，需要同时提供新的经济机会。
- 安全与便利 - 不同区域需要根据其功能，量身定制步道的整治与管理。
- 有条件的步道租赁 - 在历史区域和旅游区，可以考虑对小贩的业务加以控制。
- 智慧分区 - 有效的城市管理需利用合理的规划而非一刀切的方式。
逐步模仿指南
如果你希望通过看的方式提升英语口语能力，不妨尝试以下步骤，利用视频的内容进行有效的练习：
- 观看视频：观看这个关于河内步道管理的视频，关注讲者的语调和发音。
- 暂停模仿：每当讲者说到重要短语时，暂停视频，重复并模仿其发音和表达方式。尝试使用shadow speak技巧来提升你的语言流利度。
- 记录音频：用录音设备记录下你模仿的声音，方便后期与原声对比，提高自我评估能力。
- 利用实时交流：尝试与朋友或同学进行对话，使用视频中的短语进行互动，促进日常口语的应用。
- 反思总结：在练习结束后，写下你的体会和改进之处，通过这种方式巩固学习效果。
通过这样有效的方法，你不仅可以提高雅思口语练习的能力，还能加深对河内步道管理问题的理解，同时观看精彩的看YouTube学英语内容，丰富你的语言学习体验。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
