The city government will inform investors the form of mobilizing resources for infrastructure investment in Thu Duc city.
The Thu Duc city, or Eastern city, has been cherished by the Ho Chi Minh City government for years on the basis of merging three eastern districts of the city including Thu Duc, 2 and 9 with a total area of 211 square kilometers and more than a million people.
The development of this city is based on three platforms - the High-Tech Park in District 9, the National University in Thu Duc and the financial center in District 2’s Thu Thiem peninsular.
With 10 percent of Ho Chi Minh City’s population and area, Thu Duc city could be a driving force of the parent city, contributing 30 percent of the city’s GDP, equivalent to 4-5% of the country’s GDP.
