Hẻm

Hẻm (or Ngõ in Northern Vietnam) are the terms used to describe narrow streets branching off of main roads.[1][2][3][4][5] Hẻm are characterized by their narrow width and are lined with narrow, multistory buildings known as tube houses, creating a dense and vertical urban form.[6][7][8][9] In Ho Chi Minh City, approximately 65% of residents live in hẻm.[10] Hẻm are numbered and referred to by the name of the major street it branches off of, similarly to Sois in Thailand.[11][12] Slashes are used to indicated an address in a hẻm, so the address "36/23 Hẻm Lê Thị Riêng" indicates the house is number 36 in the 23rd Hẻm off Lê Thị Riêng street.[5][13]
