Advantages of Long An

HCMC is facing numerous challenges in planning, developing urban areas, and meeting the housing demands due to its mega size and large population of 13 million people. According to the 2017 statistics of HCMC Department of Construction, HCMC has about 50,000 newlyweds, 20,000 bureaucrat households and 13,000 families relocated due to embellishment projects that have housing needs. There are also over 1.2 million immigrants with urgent housing needs. Therefore, satellite cities have become the strategic objective for HCMC, in decentralizing its population. Long An particularly has many competitive advantages thanks to its adjoining position with HCMC, large land fund and convenient traffic. Long An authority also issues policies to attract investment, develop infrastructure and urban areas, especially high-end projects that not only suit HCMC citizens but also professionals and experts working in industrial zones.
