Urban Development Law passed, paving way for Ho Chi Minh City’s growth

The 16th National Assembly has approved the Law on Urban Development, a significant piece of legislation that experts believe will accelerate and sustain Ho Chi Minh City's growth. The law aims to create new mechanisms and policies that translate into tangible benefits for the public and businesses, reducing administrative burdens, shortening processing times, and improving the quality of life.

Key provisions include the social contributions of administrative procedure support services, enabling the state to retain decision-making authority while leveraging resources and technology from society. To ensure effectiveness, the city must establish clear regulations, set standards and pricing frameworks, and impose strict sanctions on providers.

Once implemented, Ho Chi Minh City is expected to review relevant regulations, delegate authority to local levels, and streamline processes to reduce travel and waiting times for citizens and businesses.
