There are more and more 100-meter tall buildings in Vietnam's largest city, and experts call on the city not to become a concrete forest.

Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city in Vietnam, with the rapid development of Vietnam's economy and urban construction in recent years, more and more high-rise buildings have sprung up. Especially near the landmark tower 8 1, the tallest building in Southeast Asia, pieces of high-rise apartments have mushroomed. However, due to the limited urban investment in Ho Chi Minh City, the urban infrastructure has been very backward. Vietnamese experts said that the city needs to be built well and should not be reduced to a concrete forest.

There are more and more high-rise buildings in Ho Chi Minh City around Ruan Youjing Street in Pingsheng County, but there is one problem that has not been solved, that is, the urban infrastructure is very backward under the ever-changing urban landscape.

Ruan Youjing Street in Pingsheng County is 3 kilometers long, starting from Ruan Youjing Street overpass, intersecting with Dean Bianfu Street and expressway, passing at the foot of Shoutian Bridge, and extending to Sun Desheng Street, the first county of Ho Chi Minh City. According to the statistics of Ho Chi Minh City Transportation Bureau, this road will build six urban complexes, including hospitals, schools, commercial centers and more than 17000 apartments.

The projects on this road include many real estate projects, all of which are high-grade apartment buildings, and some offer hundreds of millions of Vietnamese dong per square meter.

For example, the price of this central park project is 70-90 million Vietnamese dong per square meter, covering an area of 43 hectares. In the original approved plan, this new project can accommodate up to 16000 people.

The real estate in the prime location where Saigon River meets the canal is even more expensive. The project is expected to be delivered on 202 1. The price of this project is as high as 200 million Vietnamese dong per square meter. Although these projects have made the skyline of Ho Chi Minh City beautiful, many concentrated high-rise buildings have overloaded the urban infrastructure, and the design of Ruan Youjing Street may not meet the needs of people living here in the future.

Vietnamese experts say that apartments are very crowded, creating the image of a "concrete forest" in the city center. Also, because the population is too concentrated, it is prone to many urban diseases, such as road congestion. Director Chen of Ho Chi Minh City School of Economics and Management said that Ruan Youjing Street is too concentrated and not an ideal new urban area. In the future, the situation here will be an expensive lesson and an irreparable urban cancer.

Although luxury apartments are crowded with the central area of Ruan Youjing Street, there are still low-income people living in Ho Chi Minh City nearby, which will have serious consequences due to the high-density construction nearby. For example, urban waterlogging has intensified.

Ruan Youjing Street has now become a traffic black spot in Ho Chi Minh City. For example, this overpass, built in 1997 and put into use in 2002, was originally designed to solve the traffic problems in Ho Chi Minh City and contribute to the urban development, with an investment of nearly 42 billion Vietnamese dong. However, it has not become a black spot of urban congestion in a short time, because the nearby planning is not perfect, the population is too concentrated, and the project has scandals.

Ho Chi Minh City Transportation Bureau said that Ruan Youjing Street was built on the original swamp, and now the traffic flow is large and it develops too fast along the road surface, resulting in road surface degradation, drainage system damage and frequent water accumulation on the road surface.

Although authorities and experts have often issued warnings in recent years, investors still think that the ultra-luxury project of Ruanyoujing Street is "golden road" because of its favorable geographical location. Behind the beautiful city is the waterlogging of the city, which is a congested urban disease.
