Modern Planning

A scheme on urban administration in Ho Chi Minh City will bring great opportunities for the development of satellite cities if implemented soon.

Despite being one of the 40 most populous cities in the world, with over 10 million people, most of the lands in Ho Chi Minh City are rural, with urban areas accounting for less than 30 per cent. The city’s government therefore has the twin tasks of both urban and rural management. To create favorable conditions for the city’s development, the municipal government has created a pilot scheme on urban administration, under which the city will be reorganized into a central area, four satellite cities revolving around the central communes. The new scheme represents the expectations of municipal leaders and has been commended by economic and planning experts as an important breakthrough for the city’s development.

Many experts believe that if the scheme is passed by the National Assembly and implemented shortly, it will present many opportunities for the development of the whole city and especially for the four satellite cities. It is difficult to renovate, upgrade, and change the current appearance of the central area, which is comprised of 13 thoroughly urbanized districts. As for the areas planned to become the four satellite cities, the scheme creates opportunity for their development and will contribute to encouraging local real estate projects.

The North City is composed of District 12 and most of Hoc Mon District and will build a service-based economy, ecological tourism associated with high-tech agriculture such as cultivating ornamental plants, flowers, and fish. It also serves as new residential areas for Go Vap and Tan Binh Districts. The West City consisting of the entire Binh Tan District, parts of Ward 7, Ward 16 of District 8, and four communes in Binh Chanh District will focus on service industries and industrial parks, becoming new residential areas for District 6, District 11 and Tan Binh District.

Meanwhile, the South City including District 7, Nha Be District, part of Ward 7 of District 8 and two commues in Binh Chanh District, will be developed based on the Nha Be River and Xoai Rap River.
