Population density – the indicator of township sustainability.

The high population density is increasing the pressure on the infrastructure system, so moving to outer regions of Ho Chi Minh City, towards modern and high-quality living spaces, is now a rising trend.

Alarming population density in Ho Chi Minh City

According to Ho Chi Minh City Statistical Office, by the end of 2018, the basic population of Ho Chi Minh City was 8.85 million people, excluding military, police and foreign affairs forces (subject to statistical investigation by the governing bodies, including the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). However, according to calculations from the HCMC People's Committee, there are currently about 13 million residents in the area, and the mechanical population growth rate is high at 2.15% / year.

Despite only taking 0.6% of the country’s total area, Ho Chi Minh City’s population is 7 times higher than the national average. Ho Chi Minh City is "struggling" with a lot of pressure on budget, public administration, education, transport infrastructure, in which the biggest issues are solving housing problems and creating a good quality living environment for the citizens.

General reports have shown the population density at central districts in Ho Chi Minh City are very high, i.e. 440 people/hectare in District 5, 240 people/ hectare in District 1, 210 people/ hectare in District Tan Binh… Traffic connectivity in Ho Chi Minh City is among the lowest nationwide.

Another report sent to the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City earlier this year from the Department of Education and Training also indicated schools in the city are overloaded due to rapid increase in migration. There were expectedly almost 1.7 million students in the school year 2019-2020 (an increase of nearly 40,000 compared to the previous year). By the school year 2020-2021, this number would increase even more.

Solution for high population density problem, improving living quality

The appropriately designed townships are becoming top options for families seeking for a long-term settlement. It’s where the parents can travel quickly to work, where children can study and develop intellectually and physically close to their home, where elders can live peacefully in a green, quiet environment and among a friendly community… Such living environment is being built in North Ben Luc (Long An) by Nam Long Group (NLG). Known as the riverside city, Waterpoint has total area of 355 hectares, with expected population of 30,000 people, equivalent to a population density of around 84 people per hectare, which is almost the same with Singapore, the world’s greenest city Singapore (82 people per hectare).
