Population growth in Vietnam's capital Hanoi has outstripped the capacity of neighborhood parks and playgrounds. While the city government has a plan to make Hanoi green and clean, it lacks policy measures to achieve targets it has set.

With funding from The Asia Foundation, HealthBridge has published the report *Urban governance in preservation and management of neighborhood parks/playgrounds in inner-city districts of Hanoi*. It makes numerous recommendations, such as revising the National Urban Upgrading Program to ensure adequate parks and playgrounds.
