The People's Committee of the southern province of Dong Nai has officially approved the 1/2,000 scale zoning plan for the Dai Phuoc 1 Subdivision, a smart riverside urban area dedicated to science and innovation located in Dai Phuoc Commune.
According to the decision, the planned area covers more than 3,131 ha, and is situated to the west of the Nhon Trach new urban area, bordering the Dong Nai River and Ho Chi Minh City.
The Dai Phuoc 1 Subdivision is envisioned as a smart riverside urban zone and a hub for science and innovation. It is expected to serve as a socio-economic catalyst for Dai Phuoc Commune and the broader Nhon Trach new urban area. Furthermore, the project is designed to synergize with and spread development momentum from the Long Thanh International Airport region.
The subdivision is projected to accommodate a population of 180,000 to 230,000 people. The urban layout follows a "compact city" model, integrating multi-functional spaces closely linked to public transport systems. Key functional zones will include mixed-use areas, commercial and service centers, innovation hubs, cultural and sports complexes, and various themed parks.
In terms of connectivity, the urban area will feature public transport routes such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), alongside smart traffic infrastructure, parking systems, and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. All technical infrastructure, including water supply, wastewater treatment, electricity, and telecommunications, will be synchronized and installed underground.
