The head of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee rated Hoc Mon's proposal to the city before 2030 as "welcome and justifiable". However, according to him, if he wants to go far and fast, in the short term, the locality needs to solve a series of outstanding problems before proceeding to a further stage.

"The district continues to work under the project of building Hoc Mon to become a district, and then how will it develop, the city will calculate", Mr. Nung said and asked this locality to promote administrative reform, building building a green - clean - beautiful neighborhood, developing tourism ...

In the plan to bring districts into districts (or to cities in Ho Chi Minh City), based on population, area, socio-economic development, urban infrastructure ..., Hoc Mon is ranked by the Department of Home Affairs. 4 (reaching 22/30 criteria) out of 5 districts that want to go to a district or city, behind Binh Chanh (26/30), Nha Be and Cu Chi (both 23/30), just above Can Gio (19/30) .

At the meeting, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Vice Chairman Duong Anh Duc said localities need to stick to the criteria to propose a roadmap to raise the district to the district or city. This is to solve the problems that exist in the area, avoid early announcement but the time to go to the county or city is long. "Consequently, land prices increase but the quality of life of people has not increased," he said.

Previously, the Deputy Secretary of Hoc Mon district Nguyen Anh Tuan proposed the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee to approve the policy of building the Hoc Mon district investment and construction project, the city directly under Ho Chi Minh City in the period of 2021-2030.

Hoc Mon leader explained the adjustment of orientation from district to city because there are many rural areas that cannot be converted into urban areas. Going to the city also has criteria that are easier to meet than going to the county.

At the same time, the locality is rapidly urbanizing, the proportion of non-agricultural labor accounts for a high proportion in the labor structure with more than 94%. The economic structure of the district is changing towards trade - service, industry, handicraft, agriculture.

On the other hand, the natural conditions, population size and infrastructure, transportation, and education culture of the district are almost similar to neighboring districts such as 12, Go Vap and Binh Tan. This locality believes that going to the city is in line with the general urban development trend of Ho Chi Minh City, with an ecological, civilized and modern orientation in the Northwest.

Hoc Mon is a suburban district located in the Northwest gateway of Ho Chi Minh City, covering an area of ​​more than 109 km2 with nearly 600,000 inhabitants, including a town and 11 communes. Along with Hoc Mon, the remaining 4 suburban districts of Binh Chanh, Cu Chi, Can Gio and Nha Be also have an orientation to the city before 2030.
