Saigon is the former name of HoChiMinh city, being built for hundreds of years with blended architectures of French, Chinese, Indian, American and other foreign trends and influences. Furthermore, the city's infrastructure was built to serve a small population of less than 1 million residents, not for 8 million or 10 million residents like it has become nowadays.
To build the new upscale center where banks, business companies, representative offices, financial firms, service companies, shopping centers, recreation facilities, and luxurious residential buildings, houses requires new standards of construction codes, city development plants, landscape design and other aesthetic values to provide both spiritual and using functions. Vietnam has two primary seasons - rainy and sunny - that expects both business and residential construction structures providing cooler space and comfortable experience during 365 days a year. For some heavy rain days, sewage systems must be able to handle extra water volumes from city street surfaces to reservoirs or rivers nearby to allow all kinds of public and private transportation smoothly serving commuters, passengers and motor riders.
To build a brand-new city from scratch takes less cost for upgrading old architectures and obsolete infrastructural systems such as telephone, internet, Wi-Fi, TV cable, water pipe, electricity networks and other utilities built underground or inside walls or concrete structures. Furthermore, construction companies and specialty equipment installment companies are supposed to use same standards and safety codes for their works and business contracts. The municipal authorities and government agencies can monitor or administrate such business activities under strict regulation. Durability, high quality and easily repairing procedures are three standard codes for all business companies involving in building the new city.
