HCMC aims to not only become the national economic leader but also transform into a modern and civilized city in the region. Sadly, the latest Covid-19 outbreak in the city has revealed inadequacies in its urban development. Therefore, the municipal authorities wish to call upon the contribution of the whole community in the planning task so that HCMC can enjoy a more sustainable socio-economic growth in the upcoming time.
