new urban areas in Vietnam
Vinhommes Grand Park Urban
Area, Ho Chi Minh City
In the context of strong urbanization in Vietnam, many new urban areas have
been built with the aim of improving the quality of life for people and promoting
socio-economic development. One of the outstanding urban projects is
Vinhomes Grand Park, located in Ho Chi Minh City. Invested by Vingroup, this
urban area is a symbol of modern and sustainable development. This research
project will clarify the changes in the urbanization process here.

3. How has it changed?
*Since the urbanization process began with the birth
of Vinhomes Grand Park urban area, the entire area
has undergone a strong transformation. The previous
agricultural fields have been replaced by modern
high-rise buildings, villas and utility works.
*Vinhomes Grand Park is designed according to
international standards with full services such as
schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and especially
the large green park Grand Park, creating a healthy
and nature-friendly living environment.

new jobs in the fields of construction, agricultural land and natural
services, and commerce. areas, changing the landscape and
natural ecosystem of the area.
*Vinhomes Grand Park is a clear symbol of
modern, large-scale urban development in
Ho Chi Minh City. However, to ensure
sustainability, it is necessary to strictly
manage and ensure a balance between
economic development and protection of
the natural environment.
Through this research, I realized that urbanization
is a big step forward in the development of the
country. However, this development does not only
need to focus on building modern works but also
needs to ensure sustainability, environmental
protection and social justice. I hope that in the
future, new urban areas in Vietnam will continue to
develop comprehensively, meeting the needs of all
classes of people and preserving natural values.
