Synopsis

Drawing on his experience with the Australian government-funded Hanoi Planning and Development Project, Logan (cultural heritage, Deakin U., Melbourne) traces the cultural, political, and economic forces that have shaped this 1,000-year city. Westerners can now see for themselves the eclectic architectural styles featured in some 140 b&w illustrations. Hanoi, facing "creeping pluralism," shares with other cities the challenge of preserving its heritage while contending with quality of life issues. Includes maps. Annotation c.
