Ensuring synchronous infrastructure to connect underground space in Ho Chi Minh City
After merging with Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City currently manages more than 12.7 million vehicles, including 1.4 million cars and 11.3 million motorbikes. Every day, the city welcomes thousands of tourist vehicles from neighboring provinces.
However, the wharf system currently only reaches 2.69ha out of a total of 550ha planned, equivalent to less than 0.5% of actual demand. The number is too small, causing the shortage of parking spaces to become increasingly urgent, especially in the central area.
Ho Chi Minh City has planned 4 large-scale underground parking lots at Le Van Tam Park, Tao Dan, Trong Dong stage and Hoa Lu Stadium - with a total capacity of more than 6,000 cars and 4,000 motorbikes. However, after decades, everything is still "on paper" due to investment mechanisms and complicated legal procedures. See more...
