CHUONG DUONG RENOVATION
Project Overview

CHUONG DUONG RENOVATION

Once an area overflowing with trash and household wastewater that harmed the natural ecosystem and human health, this stretch of land on the bank of the Red River at Alley 43/32 Bach Dang Street, Chuong Duong Ward, Hoan Kiem District, has been transformed into a livable space. The project was funded by the Embassy of Denmark and Ford Vietnam, and implemented by four organizations: Think Playgrounds, Keep Vietnam Clean, the Centre for Environment and Community Research (CECR), and ECUE.
