Expectation to become Saigon's "new center"
If urban areas were formed in the real estate market decades ago, new megacities appeared about 5 years ago. Large investors in turn announced megacities with a scale of hundreds to thousands of hectares, which are synchronously planned from commercial and residential areas, to infrastructure, utilities and landscapes.
