KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: PROF. SYLVIE FANCHETTE

-----
This is the fourth talk in the ADHOC TALK series of “Hanoi Ad Hoc 1.0: Architecture, Factories and (Re)Tracing the Modern Dream of Recent Past.”
-----
Less than one hour drive away from Hanoi are over 500 specialist craft villages, well known for producing an array of religious products as well as food, industrial goods, and much more. Throughout the formation of the Vietnamese civilization, these traditional craft villages have formed and developed naturally into residential communities. From their intangible role, they have constantly provided tangible objects.

Since Đổi Mới, a thousand clusters of craft villages have modernized and diversified their products around Hanoi, attracting thousands of workers locally and remotely. This cottage industrialization has led to a process of in-situ urbanization in the Red River Delta countryside, which led to a surge in population density, industrial services, trade, and accommodation for migrant workers.

Will the development of these handicraft villages/cooperatives stand separately from industrial factories in the process of industrialization and modernization? How is the individual and collective relationship between the indigenous dwarfs and the giants - industrial factories, and their interactions with the city from the perspective of development researchers?

Hope you will join us in finding the answers from the experiences of Our Keynote Speaker: Professor. Sylvie FANCHETTE and Our Guests: Dr. Le Quynh Chi and Dr. Pham Thai Son in this conversation.
