The two areas are densely populated parts of central Ho Chi Minh City, where many houses have deteriorated and infrastructure remains inadequate. Narrow alleys also pose challenges for firefighting and rescue operations.
The Ma Lang project will affect about 1,070 properties, involving 1,459 households and 4,693 people, while the Cho Ga – Gao project will affect around 252 houses, involving 192 households and 744 people.
The city also launched a 7.21 trillion VND water environment improvement project in the area of former Binh Duong province, including a package to increase the capacity of the Thuan An wastewater treatment plant by 20,000cu.m per day.

New industrial infrastructure in Da Nang
In Da Nang, Nam Thang Binh Industrial Park Infrastructure Investment JSC launched three projects with a combined investment of 1.1 trillion VND: a ready-built factory complex, a wastewater treatment plant and the second phase of technical infrastructure at Subzone B of Nam Thang Binh Industrial Park.
The ready-built factory complex covers about 18ha with an investment of 670 billion VND. The 160 billion VND wastewater treatment plant will have a capacity of 4,200 cu.m per day, while the second-phase technical infrastructure covers about 29.5ha with an investment of 268 billion VND.
The three projects are designed to connect production space, technical infrastructure and environmental treatment facilities, helping shorten investment preparation time and enable businesses to put factories into operation sooner.
Vice Chairman of the Da Nang City People’s Committee Phan Thai Binh said modern industrial infrastructure and high-tech, environmentally friendly investment are key to achieving sustained double-digit economic growth.
