"This paper examines the nature of [urban-based economic growth in Vietnam] and contends that the present size of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are much greater than official figures suggest. It then goes on to review the situation with regard to urban poverty, basic needs and the environment to illustrate the extent to which this unacknowledged growth is not only threatening the sustained expansion of those cities, but also the sustainability of the economic growth on which the country is so reliant."
本文探讨了[越南城市经济增长的本质]，并认为胡志明市和河内目前的规模远大于官方数据所显示的。接着，文章回顾了城市贫困、基本需求和环境方面的情况，以说明这种未被承认的增长不仅在威胁这些城市的持续扩张，还在威胁该国所依赖的经济增长的可持续性。
