This important content was stated in the conclusion of Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc after the meeting on October 2, 2025. Previously, Chairman Nguyen Van Duoc chaired a meeting on the implementation of public works projects at land plot No. 1 Ly Thai To Street, Vuon Lai Ward. The meeting was attended by leaders of relevant departments, branches and the People's Committee of Vuon Lai Ward.
After listening to the reports of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Department of Finance and opinions of the units, including the proposal to arrange about 4,000m² of land to build the headquarters of the People's Committee of Vuon Lai Ward, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City concluded the planning orientation of the land.
In conclusion, land plot No. 1 Ly Thai To is located in the center, adjacent to three major roads: Ly Thai To, Hung Vuong and Tran Binh Trong, and near the extended metro line No. 1 and the future metro line No. 3. This is a land plot with a special location and needs to be put into effective exploitation soon.
Currently, the proportion of parks and green trees in the inner city of Ho Chi Minh City is still very low compared to planning standards. Public spaces and playgrounds for residents are limited.
Therefore, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee emphasized that prioritizing this land fund to develop green areas and form public parks is extremely necessary to improve the living environment and move towards sustainable urban development.
Chairman Nguyen Van Duoc assigned the Department of Planning and Architecture to coordinate with the People's Committee of Vuon Lai Ward to study the land planning plan in the direction of forming a green park and community playground. At the same time, study the arrangement of the area to place a memorial stele for compatriots who died due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Along with that, Chairman Nguyen Van Duoc assigned the Department of Planning and Architecture to urgently and fully implement the direction of Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Bui Xuan Cuong in Notice No. 382 dated September 26, 2025 on the management of old villas.
The Department of Planning and Architecture is researching investment in additional items such as underground parking lots and suitable utilities under the PPP model, to increase land use efficiency and meet people's needs.

Consider arranging the headquarters of Vuon Lai Ward People's Committee on a 4,000m² land plot
According to the conclusion, about 4,000 square meters of land at the corner of Tran Binh Trong - Ly Thai To will be considered to build a new headquarters for the People's Committee of Vuon Lai Ward, because the current headquarters is scattered and does not meet the requirements of operating a two-level government.
The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee also assigned the People's Committee of Vuon Lai Ward to urgently propose a project to renovate, improve and expand the extended Tran Binh Trong Street.
