HCMC - 4 land plots located in prime locations in Thu Duc City and Tan Phu District will be reclaimed to develop 4 modern urban areas according to the TOD model.

According to the plan, Ho Chi Minh City will reclaim 667 hectares of land in Thu Duc City and Tan Phu District to develop 4 modern urban areas according to the TOD model. TOD is a model for orienting public transport development for urban planning, construction and development. TOD places have increased land use coefficients and high population density, thereby attracting the need to go to and from large traffic units.

The location of TOD with the largest and most prime area among the land plots is around Phuoc Long station, in Truong Tho and Phuoc Long A wards. The total area of this land plot is 160 hectares.

According to the plan, in the first quarter of 2025, Thu Duc City will complete the determination of boundaries and legal status of the reclaimed areas. By the third quarter of 2025, Thu Duc City will implement planning adjustments, select investors and approve projects in 2025.

The 4th TOD location is a land located in Tan Phu district, this land is located next to Metro Line 2 (Ben Thanh - Tham Luong) to develop urban areas according to the TOD model. The land is 26 hectares wide, located along the two axes of Tay Thanh and Truong Chinh streets.

By the second quarter, local planning adjustments will be implemented, before carrying out land procedures and resettlement compensation by the end of 2025.

Through a preliminary review, Ho Chi Minh City has about 64,000 hectares of potential land for development according to the TOD model. Of which, 4 land plots to be reclaimed in Thu Duc City and Tan Phu District are on the list of 11 areas selected by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee for development according to the TOD model in the period of 2024 - 2028.
