“…The park boundaries were extracted from the 2010 HCMC land-use plan and validated using satellite images in Google Earth as well as through field visits in 2016. This particular approach proved necessary since the official maps provided by the Vietnamese government are not always up to date [16].…”

“…a For example, 75% of the 16 parks in Type A include an exercise equipment adult; A: small park (less than one hectare), well equipped, and of good quality; B: small park (less than one hectare), poorly equipped, and of average quality; C: poorly equipped and deteriorated parks; D: medium park (1 to 5 hectares), well equipped, and good quality; E: large park (over 5 hectares), very well equipped, and good quality. Nearly all of the Type A (16) and Type B (46) parks were very small in size (less than one hectare). These two types were distinguished by their level of equipment and services.…”

“…On the contrary, most Type C parks were located in peripheral neighborhoods (35.7% in areas planned between 1996 and 2002 and 50.0% in areas planned after 2003).

“…Nowadays, the city, home to more than 8 million people, is characterized by a high population density (11,899 inhabitants/km 2 in urban areas) and rapid urbanization with the annual rate of urbanization and population growth of 3.8% and 4.1% [14]. Like in other cities in Vietnam, urban planning in HCMC is increasingly privatized [15,16]. Moreover, with spatial segregation on the rise, wealthy neighborhoods are often well supplied in terms of quality services in contrast to disadvantaged neighborhoods [15,17], which further contributes to the divide between the rich and the poor in urban Vietnam [18][19][20].…”

“…The provision of parks in HCMC remains very limited [21]. The park surface area per inhabitant is only 0.22 m 2 -significantly lower when compared to other cities in Southeast Asia, such as Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur (1 m 2 and 1.25 m 2 ) [22], or Hanoi (1.48 m 2 ) [16]. And yet, public spaces-particularly parks-play a major role in the relaxation and recreational activities of the HCMC population [23].…”

The Provision and Accessibility to Parks in Ho Chi Minh City: Disparities along the Urban Core—Periphery Axis

In Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC, Vietnam), there is now an urgent need for evaluating access to parks in an effort to ensure better planning within the context of rapid and increasingly privatized urbanization. In this article, we analyze the provision and accessibility to parks in HCMC. To achieve this, the information gathered was then integrated into the geographical information systems (GISs). Based on an Ascending Hierarchical Classification, we were able to identify five different types ranging in their intrinsic characteristics. The accessibility measurements calculated in the GISs show that communities are located an average of at least 879 meters away from parks, which is a relatively short distance. Children have a level of accessibility comparable to that of the overall population. Accessibility also seems to vary greatly throughout the City—populations residing in central districts (planned before 1996) enjoy better accessibility compared to those in peripheral neighborhoods (planned after 1996). Parks located in areas planned between 1996 and 2002 are the least accessible, followed by parks in areas planned after 2003. Our findings suggest possible approaches that could be used to help ensure the quality of parks and their spatial accessibility.

From strict socialism to social evils: Changing childhoods over three generations in urban Vietnam

Over the span of three generations, Vietnam's capital Hanoi, has transformed from a modest city grappling with food scarcity during the socialist subsidy era to a sprawling metropolis marked by gated communities and a widening wealth divide. Employing a child‐centric, multi‐generational family methodology, with members of 13 families across three generations, we explore the diverse childhood experiences shaped by these rapid urban transformations. Grandparents shared stories of unrestricted outdoor play despite challenging conditions, while parents noted a lack of academic pressures in their youth. Contemporary children enjoy access to new technology and consumer goods, but face important mobility restrictions due to parental and societal concerns. Our findings reveal that the Vietnamese context engendered distinctive childhood reflections for the two older generations, contrasting with childhoods in non‐socialist contexts during the same periods. Meanwhile, the contemporary Vietnamese state has crafted a ‘social evils’ discourse that shapes current childhood opportunities in specific ways. By being centered on urban Vietnam—a context vastly different from Global North‐dominated narratives in childhood studies—our study acts as a counterpoint that enriches the field with perspectives from a politically‐socialist state. Focusing on the unique childhood experiences within Hanoi's evolving socio‐spatial landscape, we advocate for more diverse understandings of childhood that respect varied realities across contexts.
