WTC Binh Duong New City is proud to share a landmark development in Vietnam’s national urban and economic strategy: On April 18, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Council approved the merger of Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong Province, and Ba Ria–Vung Tau Province into a single centrally governed urban unit, retaining the name Ho Chi Minh City.

The new metropolis will cover 6,772 square kilometers, house approximately 14 million residents, and consist of 190 administrative units. In 2024, the combined GRDP of the three provinces reached approximately 2.71 million billion VND — contributing nearly 24% of Vietnam’s national GDP — positioning the expanded Ho Chi Minh City as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic mega-cities — and a major hub for trade, investment, and international business cooperation.

This merger brings together three economic zones with complementary strengths: Ho Chi Minh City’s financial and commercial leadership, Binh Duong’s smart manufacturing and FDI magnet, and Ba Ria–Vung Tau’s deep-sea ports, logistics infrastructure, and coastal tourism. The integrated urban area will allow businesses to benefit from improved market access, streamlined supply chains, and greater land availability for development.

The city’s government highlighted that the new supercity will optimize resource allocation, improve transport connectivity (road, waterway, and maritime), and promote balanced, inclusive growth. These advantages are expected to attract both regional and global investors seeking long-term growth in Vietnam and the broader ASEAN market.

WTC Binh Duong New City welcomes WTCs and global partners to explore new opportunities for business expansion, trade missions, investment projects, and multi-sector collaboration in this vibrant and forward-looking economic region.
