Green City

- Recently, the role of the Saigon River in Ho Chi Minh City has received more attention. But how will intractable problems such as environmental pollution, population overload, and narrowing waterways be addressed?

- Every vision must be placed within a feasible plan. A good plan will be environmentally friendly in the long term, leading to sustainable urban development. If so, both banks of the Saigon River will stretch with new residential areas, including large parks connected to modern neighborhoods. A green city will open up new opportunities for the development of the surrounding areas.

- And what about waterways, which were once a strength in both trade and transportation?

- A well-planned and systematically implemented transportation system along a major river will reduce pressure on road transport. Furthermore, Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta will be easily connected by river. Another aspect is that waterway transport contributes to the development of domestic and international tourism . With a stable source of revenue, the protection of the river's flow and water quality can be ensured for many years to come.

Imagine the scene of heritage roads being recreated along the river – it's captivating. But it's not just Ho Chi Minh City; other localities across the country are also developing along winding rivers. Preserving the cleanliness and beauty of the rivers, along with proper and well-planned urban development, is essential for creating green cities.
