Saigon South - The Master Plan

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.

Former Prime Minister Vo Van Khiet with CT&D Group chairman Mr. Lawrence S. Ting and IPC chairman Mr. Phan Chanh Duong.

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."

The World Bank cited Saigon South as a model for sustainable development in emerging countries.
The Master Plan was approved by both the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, and the Office of the Prime Minister in 1994.
