Review of land use planning along the Saigon River

Accordingly, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has assigned the Department of Planning and Architecture to review construction planning and land use planning along the Saigon River within the riverbank protection corridor.

From there, an integrated database will be built on a platform of industry management information, tourism development programs, agricultural and industrial management, and planning projects… to synchronize policies and solutions, connect them, and propose ideas for adjusting the development plan of the Saigon River corridor.

In addition, the Department of Planning and Architecture compiles data from various sectors to research and propose ideas for adjusting the planning to ensure it aligns with the development orientation of green infrastructure, updates transportation guidelines, and effectively utilizes the value of land along the riverbank.

At the same time, the Department of Planning and Architecture is also tasked with reviewing and providing feedback on adjusting Decision 22 of 2017 of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee on regulations for managing and using corridors along rivers, streams, canals, ditches, and public lakes to ensure suitability with practical construction management. Through this, it will research and propose solutions for green technical infrastructure, transportation connectivity, and a development roadmap to be applied in the study of the city's master plan.

Ho Chi Minh City is very interested in developing land along the Saigon River.

The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee requested the Department of Planning and Architecture to report on the progress and results of the above-mentioned tasks before December 20th. Specifically, it requested the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to consider and approve the integration of relevant contents of the "Development of river embankments and riverside service economy in Ho Chi Minh City, 2020-2045" project into the preparation of the Ho Chi Minh City master plan until 2040, with a vision to 2060.

Previously, the Department of Transportation also stated that it was working with relevant units to finalize the plan for the Saigon riverside road. The project includes extending the Saigon riverside road (from Mui Den Do intersection, District 7 to downstream of Dau Tieng dam, Binh Duong ) to Ben Cui (Tay Ninh), with many winding and curving sections. Therefore, the riverside road does not necessarily have to follow the riverbank directly.

The project will make the most of existing routes running along the Saigon River to flexibly plan the route alignment, in accordance with the current situation and urban landscape along the river, with the goal of forming a Saigon River waterfront road axis.
