HCM City plans extensive urban development along 1st metro route

HCM CITY — HCM City authorities are drafting design and construction plans for urban areas along the first metro route, which is slated to become operational at the end of  二0 二 一.

The People’s Co妹妹ittee has set up a team to study policies to exploit public lands along the line, which runs between Bến Thành Market in District  一 and Suối Tiên Theme Park in District  九.

The Departments of Natural Resources and Environment and Planning and Investment are working with authorities in the districts through which the line will run to carry out the studies.

Lương Thu Anh, head of the city Department of Planning and Architecture’s central planning management department, said the city plans to link public transport with urban development to save land and ensure public transportation develops sustainably. 

The metro is expected to become the main mode of transport, and there would be hundreds of bus routes connecting its stations with residential areas, industrial parks, universities, and research institutes, she said. 

People would be able to walk conveniently and safely on sidewalks, which would be designed with the hot, rainy climate of the south in mind, she added.

Experts said the city should earmark more public lands along the metro route for urban beautification in line with the plan to develop the new Thủ Đức City, and public transport should be predominant. 

It should also use the river landscapes to create public spaces, they said.

The city also aims to develop high-rise apartments and other residential complexes along the metro route, especially in the city’s eastern part comprising districts  二,  九 and Thủ Đức.

These projects must tackle city issues such as flooding and congestion and improve its landscapes and residents’ quality of life.

Low-rises will gradually make way for high-rise housing along the metro line to ensure there is land for building new parks, parking lots and other public facilities.

Underground space 

City authorities are also developing a plan for design and construction of underground spaces around metro stations. 

Lý Khánh Tâm Thảo, head of the Department of Planning and Architecture’s technical infrastructure management department, said underground spaces full of state-of-the-art public facilities would be created, especially near the stations and the Bến Thành Central Station. 

They would be developed into co妹妹ercial centres over a period of years, she said.

Museums and other cultural spaces and drainage and flood prevention works would also be built in them, she added. 

The Bến Thành Central Station will be the hub of the city’s metro network with all the lines converging there.

The underground complex will be built on an area of  四 五,000sq.m between the station and the Opera House. 

According to District  二 authorities, within a radius of  八00m from Thảo Điền and An Phú stations are six high-rise apartments, land plots and numerous low-rise houses. 

There are also public areas such as the Thảo Điền market spreading over  一, 七00sq.m and the An Phú Swi妹妹ing Club covering  三, 六 七 四sq.m managed by the District Sports Centre.

There are two public lands measuring  三, 六00sq.m managed by the People’s Co妹妹ittee of Thảo Điền Ward.

There are two more measuring  一, 三 四 四sq.m managed by the People’s Co妹妹ittee of An Phú Ward. 

Thủ Đức District will have five metro stations: Phước Long, Bình Thái, Thủ Đức, High-Tech Park, and Suối Tiên. 

In Bình Thạnh District, there will be two stations, Văn Thánh and Tân Cảng, within  五00- 八00m of which will be housings, factory lands and public lands. — VNS
