Inhabit The World

The tube houses (1x16)

Air date: Nov 07, 2016

In the historic district of Hanoi, capital of Vietnam, there is a unique habitat: the tube houses. Characterised by the narrowness of their facades, they serve both as a home and a shop, and have become over time a symbol of the values of Vietnamese society. With the residents of the neighbourhood, Philippe Simay discovers the rich history and social role behind the narrow facades of these surprising houses.
