The People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has just issued four decisions to approve the 1/500 planning of Can Gio tourism urban area
Accordingly, Can Gio urban area with a total area of 2870ha with a total investment of 217,000 billion.
This will be a general urban area, including houses (apartments, townhouses, villas, palaces …), shophouse, hotel restaurant, MICE, resort …
With a maximum population of 228,000, it will be a true megacity when completed. For comparison, the current Q4 population size is only 200,000 people.
Is the approval of this detailed plan a preparatory step for the early implementation of Can Gio area? It is known that the Can Gio urban area has been decided since 2004 and there are many rumors about when it will actually commence. In the past time, although there is no official time of operation, Can Gio beach, although not very clear, is a favorite place for surfing and shark sports.
It is also indispensable for Vietnam to deploy the urban area without building the Can Gio bridge, which many people also call Cau Gio bridge.
