OVERVIEW

Saigon South is the first planned attempt to manage HCM City's rapid expansion.

City-building demands careful planning, knowledge, foresight and a keen attention to detail. The outstanding team that created Saigon South combines all of these qualities with an understanding of Vietnam and the nation's future. The result is a modern livable city in harmony with the existing city and the beauty of Vietnam's natural environment.

  • The first Asian city to win the American Institute of Architect Honor Award for best urban design (1997):
  • "This plan has its roots in the history of city-making, with its geometry derived from the history of the land. It serves as an example for other mega-developments that are occurring in areas like Asia and Southeast Asia, as it is sensitive to the cultures, site and urban traditions."
