The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has issued a plan to officially announce the city's master plan for 2025-2050, incorporating a long-term vision extending 100 years into the future.

The announcement conference is scheduled for November 16 at the Thiskyhall Convention Center in An Khanh Ward and will be chaired by city leaders.

The event aims to introduce the master plan's key contents to government agencies, organizations, businesses, investors and the public.

The conference will formally announce the decision approving the master plan and present its guiding principles, development objectives, strategic orientations, spatial development model, major breakthroughs and implementation priorities.

The program will feature video presentations, reports on the plan's main components, explanations of planning maps and spatial organization diagrams, and an exhibition displaying relevant maps and technical drawings.

HCMC to make official planning documents publicly accessible

The city will also release the planning documents approved for public disclosure, including explanatory reports, management regulations, maps, drawings, diagrams and related electronic data.

Information classified as state secrets will be excluded from publication.

The Department of Planning and Architecture has been tasked with establishing, providing and maintaining a centralized access point for official planning documents, maps and databases.

The online platform must remain stable and easily accessible, with clear information identifying data sources, document versions and the dates of the latest updates.

Planning information must also be uploaded to the national database on construction activities no later than 30 days after the planning documents have been officially certified.

The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has assigned its Office to publish the announcement on the city's official information portal, while the Department of Finance will post the information on its own website.

Authorities in communes, wards and special administrative zones are responsible for regularly publishing planning information on their local websites and providing links to the official database.

Municipal departments and agencies will also incorporate relevant planning information into their public communications and publish it on their respective websites in accordance with their assigned responsibilities.

The Ho Chi Minh City Investment and Trade Promotion Center will integrate the master plan into investment promotion activities, meetings with prospective investors and related events.

The center is required to use consistent, officially approved information and direct interested parties to the city's authoritative planning database.
