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.



In Long Truong ward, the 152 ha coconut farm land, with the advantage of directly connecting to Ring Road 3, will also be re-planned according to the TOD model. The city aims to develop this area into a new, synchronous urban area, making the most of traffic advantages.
The third land plot is located in the Nhtico Factory area in Long Binh ward, 29 hectares wide, and will also be re-planned.


Ho Chi Minh City plans to auction the project at the end of the year, expecting to collect more than VND 8,000 billion to reinvest in infrastructure. 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.


According to the plan, this place will become a compact urban area with a fully exploited underground space to optimize land use value and create a modern and convenient living environment for residents.
In the first quarter of 2025, the People's Committee of Tan Phu District will prepare and approve the outline and total estimate for the project. 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.
