HCM CITY — The city will accord priority to developing high-rise apartments in a bid to reduce construction density and save land for public services and green spaces.
Under the HCM City's housing development programme for the 2011-15 period with a vision to 2025, low-rise apartments in the city's central areas, including districts 1, 3 and 4 and part of Binh Thanh District, will be converted into modern high-rise buildings.
The high-rise buildings would be built with particular focus on developing environmental-friendly and energy-saving technology, officials said.
Old apartments like Nguyen Kim and Ngo Gia Tu in District 10, as well as Nguyen Thien Thuat and Ly Thai To in District 3 would be developed into modern apartment complexes.
The city would also carry out urban renovation in residential areas of District 5, 6, 8, 11, Phu Nhuan, Tan Binh, Tan Phu, Binh Thanh and others.
Thanh Da Peninsula will be transformed into a modern tourism and relaxation area.
A 5,000ha science and technology park in Thu Duc District and District 9 and the Thu Thiem new urban area in District 2 are other projects included in the development plan.
In the outlying areas of Binh Chanh, Hoc Mon, Nha Be, Cu Chi and Can Gio districts, new projects will focus on developing rural residential areas and satellite urban areas.
The programme will also give priority to building housing for poor and low-income people, and to constructing dormitories for students.
The city is home to more than 7 million people and the figure is expected to increase to 10 million by 2025 and remain at this rate until 2030, according to the HCM City Department of Urban Planning and Architecture. — VNS
