Saigoneer Podcast: Redesigning Saigon's Parks; Recreation in the City

We're back from our Tet break!

On this week's episode, our first after the Tet break, we begin (1:12) with a look at Saigon's parks and precious little green space in light of the news that city officials will hold a competition to re-design 23/9 Park. If we were in charge of re-imagining the park, or any other public space, what would we add? A dog park? Tire swings? Pangolins? A wholesale re-think of the very concept of a park?

Then (17:16) we discuss recreation in the city. How do we find ways to exercise amid the traffic and pollution? What could be done to make this a better city for outdoor activities?

As always, we close with Bánh Mì Banter (27:59).
