“…The implementation of this orderly urban vision aims to prevent the emergence of an ugly urban image and maintain urban civility (Harms, 2011;Harms, 2014). Kurfürst (2012) and Labbé (2013) describe this process, which links modernization, urban planning with civility for Hà Nọî, Kaiser (2014) and Schwenkel (2014) for Vinh. Kaiser (2014) and Schwenkel (2014) also take the mobility of urban forms (from Eastern Germany to Vietnam) to reproduce modernity into account.…”

“…Despite such conditions (or perhaps because of them), tenants have been hesitant to self‐repair (tự làm) in ways that would preserve the structural and infrastructural integrity of the buildings. Although residents have long engaged in improvisational practices to maintain a livable environment within their individual units (Schwenkel :168–170), they have begrudgingly paid mandatory fees for upkeep and repairs of common space. “Why should we have to pay for this?” a man in B5 asked about a communal electric bill and upgrade to the lights in the stairwell.…”
