Document Summary
Some cities in southeast asia have gone through a traumatic form of urban cycle . Cities, such as ho chi min city and phnom penh went through a phase of development in the colonial era, followed by a phase of de-urbanization, during which masses of people were relocated out of the cities. The cities of vietnam, kampuchea and myanmar belong to southeast. Asia, but their development histories have taken radically different paths; especially in the recent past; than those elsewhere in the region. This lecture will examine the inhuman conditions and political horrors that destroyed the essence and substance of cities caught in the paths of ideological nightmares.
