Sieu cities in the Southeast

Doctor of Science - Architect Ngo Viet Nam Son said that a unified superior will help optimize resources and development space. For example, Can Gio port in a new vision can be upgraded to a complete international port, directly connected to Thi Vai - Cai Mep - Can Gio port cluster, creating a logistics network throughout the industrial parks in the Southern economic quadrilateral.
Can Gio beach urban area, if connected directly with Vung Tau, will form a chain of eco -tourism - a high -class marine tourism, become a southern growth of Ho Chi Minh City and contribute to clearly shaping the expanded urban space according to the sea - technology - service axis.
According to Mr. Ngo Viet Nam Son, a "expanded Ho Chi Minh City" will have an area of three times now, while the population is only a half times. This means that the development of the land fund will increase significantly, creating a premise for the multipolar - multi -central urban planning, expanding to the north (Binh Duong) and the southeast (Vung Tau).
The connection of infrastructure between Cai Mep - Thi Vai Port (Ba Ria - Vung Tau) and Song Than Station (Binh Duong) will form a shaft to develop industry - smart urban areas throughout the North - South of the Southeast. This is a pedal for the Northern High -tech urban chain and the tourist urban chain - southern seaport.
