According to HoREA, it is necessary to have accurate data and judgment to develop Ho Chi Minh City.

Planning should add many problems

After researching "Report on reviewing and evaluating the general planning project of Ho Chi Minh City", HoREA found that in the report it is necessary to add accuracy to clarify and emphasize the advantages. that Ho Chi Minh City currently has. Specifically, according to the report, “Ho Chi Minh City is a modern, sustainable city, sensitive to environmental protection, by taking advantage of its potential, especially an integrated city. attached to the river, to establish a brand image of a city where life is good, in security, in an urban living space that meets the expectations of people, businesses and development. ".

The association agrees on the uniqueness of Ho Chi Minh City as a river city, but not only associated with the Saigon River, but also associated with the Dong Nai River, and at the same time it is necessary to emphasize the factors such as coastal city with 17 km of coastline and estuary of Can Gio.

Therefore, the Association suggested that the report should clearly and specifically identify the highlight: “Ho Chi Minh City as a modern, sustainable city, sensitive to environmental protection, by making use of Its potential, especially the coastal, river urban area, is associated with the Saigon River and Dong Nai River, to establish a brand image of a city where life is good, in security, in an urban living space that meets the expectations of people, businesses and growth ”.

Population size data should be accurate

According to HoREA, the actual population size and the size of the population according to official statistics have been debated for many years. As of the census on April 1, 2019, the population of Ho Chi Minh City is 8.96 million people. In the Document of the XI Congress of the Party Committee, the population of the city in 2020 is about 9.2 million people. However, according to data from the City Police, the population of the city is about 13 million people, including about 3 million immigrants.

In addition, the average population growth rate is about 1 million people every 5 years, but it tends to decrease gradually, due to two reasons: Provinces in the Ho Chi Minh City Region are also important economic regions. The southern point has a high rate of industrialization, especially in the provinces bordering Ho Chi Minh City, so it has attracted a large number of immigrants (for example, 53% of the population of Binh Duong province are migrants. ); The natural population growth rate fell sharply due to the increase in the age of marriage and the decrease in fertility (1 woman in the city has only 1.39 children, lower than the national fertility rate of 2.09 children / woman).

Decision No. 24 dated January 6, 2010 of the Prime Minister, forecasts that the population of Ho Chi Minh City by 2025 will be about 10 million people, visitors and temporary residents (under 6 months) are about 2.5 million people. (about 12.5 million in total), but in fact, the city may already have reached this population size by 2020.

“Population size, especially immigrants is a fairly important metric in socio-economic development as well as the allocation of revenues and expenditures of the city as the city still has to address its food needs. , accommodation, travel, health care, other services ”, HoREA argues.

Thereby, HoREA proposed "Report" research to calculate the forecast "actual population size" (both current and projected population) is a fairly important basis to adjust the "General Construction Plan. building Ho Chi Minh City to 2040 with a vision to 2060 ”towards sustainable development.

Comments are not correct

In this "report" stated: "The existing general center (including districts 1, 3, part of district 4, Binh Thanh) is no longer capable of developing", according to the Association is not accurate, because Through the General Planning, the appropriate detailed zoning plan, it is still possible to implement projects "embellishment of urban redevelopment", for the existing urban areas, creating economic value. aggregate economy is very large.

"Over the past 30 years, the city has carried out many projects" urban redevelopment and redevelopment ", for existing urban areas, lump, typically the Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe project; Xom Cai residential area, ward 8, district 5; some neighborhoods of districts 1, 3, 4, 5, Phu Nhuan, Binh Thanh (or refer to the refurbishment project of Otemachi, Marunouchi and Yurakucho area Tokyo Station Japan, with only 120 hectares, has created huge aggregate economic value).

From the fact of the fact that the proportion of low-rise housing is very large and there are a number of low-rise housing areas, houses on and along the canals, old apartment buildings and with low per capita housing area, it can be said The urban development space and the real estate market in Ho Chi Minh City are still very large, with a very high total housing demand in the short term and in the medium and long term.

Therefore, it should not be said that "the existing synthesis center (District 1, 3, a part of District 4, Binh Thanh) is no longer capable of developing". The Association found that activities of "urban redevelopment" and "development of new urban areas" are two driving forces for urban development for Ho Chi Minh City ", said HoREA.

Therefore, the Association suggested when considering the adjustment "
