This city clearly has a pollution problem, and one that is quickly getting worse. But people are beginning to take notice and rather than just complain (which is all I do), many are doing something about it. In our cover story we talk to a few of these people and look at some of the issues Saigon faces as it tries to balance development with sustainability. This is by no means an easy task, but it appears that a small green movement has begun and could soon snowball into something bigger.
Elsewhere in the issue, Ruben Luong delves into the quirky world of Saigon’s shoe-collecting ‘sneakerheads’ and also talks to the people behind a few of the new online supermarkets, which are trying to bring quality products to your doorstep.
