The remaining area is arranged with a multi-functional green park, combined with public utilities, community living space, entertainment to serve people; cultural items, museums; passenger port and resettlement area.
The city will also build a new Tan Thuan 1 bridge to replace the existing bridge.
All items including the Nha Rong - Khanh Hoi Port area project, expansion of the Relic Area - Ho Chi Minh Museum, expansion of Nguyen Tat Thanh street and new construction of Tan Thuan 1 bridge will be implemented according to the public-private partnership (PPP) method, BT contract (build - transfer).
