Recently, the People’s Committee of Can Gio district has completed the overall adjustment explanation of the 1/500 subdivision planning project of the Can Gio coastal tourism urban area with a 108-storey high-rise building.

The 1/5000 subdivision planning project of the 2,870-hectare Can Gio coastal tourism urban area in Long Hoa commune and Can Thanh town was approved according to Decision No. 3800/QD-UBND dated September 5, 2018. In the context of developing the city with a long-term vision until 2060, the approved 1/5000 plan was not yet optimized in terms of the spatial arrangement of coastal areas, public beaches, and other spaces in the urban area.

Therefore, it is necessary to review and adjust the plan to supplement solutions for access by public transport; rearrange the layout of public spaces with open spaces facing the sea, limiting obstructions to the sea view.

Recently, the People’s Committee of Can Gio district has completed the overall adjustment explanation of the 1/500 subdivision planning project of the Can Gio coastal tourism urban area.

According to the previous plan (in 2018), the tourism land fund in Can Gio coastal tourism urban area had a scale of about 378.8 hectares belonging to units A1, A6, A9, B6, B7, C4, C5, C6, D1, D4, D6.

In the adjustment plan, unit A1 completely adjusted all tourist land to its own land. Unit A6 with an area of ​​about 22.5 hectares proposed to adjust the arrangement at unit A5 (according to the new unit boundaries) and increase the scale of tourist land, the area of ​​tourist land after adjustment is about 44.8 hectares.

Unit A9 with an area of ​​about 41.9 hectares, according to the new unit boundaries, the adjusted planning unit is unit A7. Adjusting and increasing tourist land, the total area is about 50.4 hectares (increasing by ​​8.5 hectares).

Unit B6 has a tourist land area of ​​about 48 hectares, maintaining the entire nature of tourist land, increasing or decreasing the area according to the new unit boundaries. Unit B7 transferred all tourist land to land with functions of housing, commercial services, greenery, and water surface.

Units C4, C5, C6 transferred all tourist land to land with functions of housing, public service, greenery, and water surface.

Tourist land belonging to units D1, D4, D6 were adjusted to the arrangement of units D1 and D2. Reducing the scale of tourist land in zone D, the new area is about 33 hectares (decreasing by ​​23.6 hectares).

Regarding the layout of the Can Gio coastal tourism urban area, the plan has adjusted the location of the sandy beaches to two large beaches belonging to zone A, with the beach in zone A3 identified as the central sea space of the city, hosting cultural, sports, entertainment events, and serving as a public space for the city, associated with some special works such as conference centers, hotels.

The beach in zone A5 is associated with the resort tourism complex. The total length of the beach after adjustment increases to 0.16 km. For outer beaches, it is proposed to increase the scale of the beach length to facilitate access to the beach for residents and tourists.

The water surface retains the direction of the central landscape water surface of zone E. The adjustment of the water surfaces of zones E into A, B, C, D is intended to increase the landscape value for these areas but does not reduce the total water surface area of ​​the entire zone.

Thus, the scale of tourism land reduced from 378.8 hectares to 183.7 hectares. The resort tourism land fund was reduced to be suitable for the new post-pandemic tourism needs and to increase urban public utilities, contributing to bringing iconic works to the city.

According to the new plan, the Can Gio coastal tourism urban area is divided into five zones: A, B, C, D, E.

Zone A covers an area of ​​953.83 hectares with the main functions, including a golf course of over 146.6 hectares.

Zone B retains the structure and main functions according to the approved 2018 plan; Adding an urban sports stadium at the gateway area; Arranging a cluster of high-rise commercial buildings combined with the central area of zone A to create symmetry, forming a focal point in the central area; Exploiting the landscape water surface in zones B3, B4. The tourism area is arranged adjacent to the commercial and urban public service areas, which are commercial and service complexes ranging from luxury to mini hotels.

Zone B retains the structure and main functions according to the approved 2018 plan; Adding an urban sports stadium at the gateway area; Arranging a cluster of high-rise commercial buildings combined with the central area of zone A to create symmetry, forming a focal point in the central area; Exploiting the landscape water surface in zones B3, B4. The tourism area is arranged adjacent to the commercial and urban public service areas, which are commercial and service complexes ranging from luxury to mini hotels.

Zone C stands out with a 108-storey tower at position number 1. The position number 2 will be a port. Zone C retains the structure and main functions according to the approved 2018 plan; Arranging more high-rise residential, office and commercial service areas around the 108-storey tower. The building density and height gradually decrease towards the central landscape water surface.

Instead of dividing the space into a grid like before, the adjusted plan for Zone D applies soft traffic management to each unit. The layers of urban spaces transition from dynamic to static from the seaside to the central landscape water surface when arranging the outer part of the beach square associated with tourism areas, commercial townhouses, and exploiting low-density ecological areas inside.
